Special operator is what they're called in CL. I don't know offhand what they're called in Scheme. But what it amounts to is that if only exists as a clause in the compiler.

"Special operator is what they're called in CL."

Yeah, I know much less about Scheme than CL, so I used the CL term.

Special operator sounds good. Or axiom, if we want to be fancy.
