hey, it's your turn to make suggestions :) I already tried to think
of different of names (e.g. S_NONEMPTY, S_IFELSE) but i couldn't
find one that was not too long _and_ explicative of what goes on
(remember one of the goals is to keep expressions short to improve
readability).

The reason I picked S_OR is that S is for String, OR as it really
mimics the behaviour of the || operator. S_? would be a better
name but the question mark is not permitted there...

In any case if the principle is acceptable, a name can be
changed easily.
