[wutdot, `?.`, %wtdt](#wtdt)
============================
If, else
`?.`is a synthetic hoon that produces `r` if `p` is yes (`&`, `0`), or
`q` if `p` is no (`|`, 1). `?.` is sort of like "if not", producing the
second expression if the loobean is true. `?.` is the inverse of `?:`.

Produces

Twig: `[%wtdt p=twig q=twig r=twig]`

~zod/try=> ?.((gth 1 2) 1 2)

~zod/try=> ?.(?=(%a 'a') %not-a %yup)
%yup
Here we see two common cases of `?.` in the wide form, one uses an
expression `gth` that produces a loobean and the other [`?=`]() to
produce one of its cases.
