[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 `?:`.

[wutcol, `?:`, %wtcl](#wtcl)
============================
Produces
--------
Twig: `[%wtdt p=twig q=twig r=twig]`
Sample
------
`p`, `q`, and `r` are [twig]()s.
Tall form
---------
?. p
q
r
Wide form
---------
?.(p q r)
Irregular form
--------------
None
Examples
--------
~zod/try=> ?.((gth 1 2) 1 2)
1
~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.
