(define this-looks-the-best_To-Me true) (if this-looks-the-best_To-Me (do (setq you-like-flexibility true) (vote-poll :lisp-formatting)

(define this-looks-the-best_To-Me true) (if this-looks-the-best_To-Me (do (setq you-like-flexibility true) (vote-poll :lisp-formatting))) If you follow the normal Lisp pattern of mostly one case and '-' for separation, allowed because Lisps/s-expressions allow the use of the normally reserved '-', I think you get the clearest code. See Clojure for a Lisp that breaks up the sea of Lots of Irritating Sets of Parenthesis if that bothers you.
