### Safe-mode
The language features a safe-mode that disables functions which allow external I/O. This allows a "sandbox" to be created where the evaluated scripts do not have access to the file system or similar resources. It is intended to be used when MadLisp is used as an embedded scripting language inside another application.

and | `(and 1 0 2)` | `0` | Return the first value that evaluates to false, or the last value. and | yes | `(and 1 0 2)` | `0` | Return the first value that evaluates to false, or the last value.
case | `(case (= 1 0) 0 (= 1 1) 1)` | `1` | Treat odd arguments as tests and even arguments as values. Evaluate and return the value after the first test that evaluates to true. case | yes | `(case (= 1 0) 0 (= 1 1) 1)` | `1` | Treat odd arguments as tests and even arguments as values. Evaluate and return the value after the first test that evaluates to true.
| `(case (= 1 0) 0 "no match")` | `"no match"` | You can also give optional last argument to case which is returned if none of the tests evaluated to true. | yes | `(case (= 1 0) 0 "no match")` | `"no match"` | You can also give optional last argument to case which is returned if none of the tests evaluated to true.
def | `(def addOne (fn (a) (+ a 1)))` | `<function>` | Define a value in the current environment. def | yes | `(def addOne (fn (a) (+ a 1)))` | `<function>` | Define a value in the current environment.
do | `(do (print 1) 2)` | `12` | Evaluate multiple expressions and return the value of the last. do | yes | `(do (print 1) 2)` | `12` | Evaluate multiple expressions and return the value of the last.
env | `(env +)` | `<function>` | Return a definition from the current environment represented by argument. Without arguments return the current environment as a hash-map. env | no | `(env +)` | `<function>` | Return a definition from the current environment represented by argument. Without arguments return the current environment as a hash-map.
eval | `(eval (quote (+ 1 2)))` | `3` | Evaluate the argument. eval | no | `(eval (quote (+ 1 2)))` | `3` | Evaluate the argument.
fn | `(fn (a b) (+ a b))` | `<function>` | Create a function. Arguments can also be given as a vector instead of a list. fn | yes | `(fn (a b) (+ a b))` | `<function>` | Create a function. Arguments can also be given as a vector instead of a list.
if | `(if (< 1 2) "yes" "no")` | `"yes"` | If the first argument evaluates to true, evaluate and return the second argument, otherwise the third argument. If the third argument is omitted return `null` in its place. if | yes | `(if (< 1 2) "yes" "no")` | `"yes"` | If the first argument evaluates to true, evaluate and return the second argument, otherwise the third argument. If the third argument is omitted return `null` in its place.
let | `(let (a (+ 1 2)) a)` | `3` | Create a new local environment using the first argument (list) to define values. Odd arguments are treated as keys and even arguments are treated as values. The last argument is the body of the let-expression which is evaluated using this new environment. let | yes | `(let (a (+ 1 2)) a)` | `3` | Create a new local environment using the first argument (list) to define values. Odd arguments are treated as keys and even arguments are treated as values. The last argument is the body of the let-expression which is evaluated using this new environment.
