Arse.  No, of course not.  Sorry, long day.  

I don't think I can beat

    something() if (a || b || c || d)

The important thing, I think, is to factor out the conditional code into something simple to make the whole statement more readable.  But of course if I had

    something() if (a || (b && c || a && c))

I might resort to:

    complextest = (a || (b && c || a && c)

    something() if complextest

Or I might even make complextest a function.
