Gosh, how about reviving a Lisp-tradition of using nomenclature specific to
computers and architectures -- the same that gave us CAR and CDR.
Looking at the PDP-10 instruction set, upon which the venerable MacLisp and
Interlisp spent most of their lives, we might arrive at XCT-WHEN. Spelling it
as normal people might, how about EXECUTE-WHEN?
