Good day,
perhaps the function below meets the Alexandria's standards for
conservativeness/usefulness:
(defun filter-if (fn &rest sequences)
(labels ((iterate (acc sequences)
(if (notany #'null sequences)
(iterate (if-let ((testval (apply fn (mapcar #'car sequences))))
(cons testval acc)
acc)
(mapcar #'cdr sequences))
acc)))
(nreverse (iterate nil sequences))))
The idea, but not the implementation, was taken from Paul Graham's book "On Lisp".
Also, i cannot come up with a good docstring, so such one would be appreciated.
