 ;; new-if....

 With the new-if, things look good when the case is simple and it doesn't matter if the then-clause and else-clause get evaluated.  Using the special form if, first the predicate will be evaluated and then the then-clause OR the else-clause.  With the new-if procedure, all arguments will be evaluated first.  This sqrt-iter will not progress to any result.  Infinite loop.
