This is because the expression:

  (and:or nil t)

expands to:

  (and (or nil t))

But the expression:

  (idfn and:or)

Expands to:

  (idfn (compose and or))

If you read my comment well, you'll see that I specifically mentioned that:

Actually, I believe what's happening is that

  (and:or nil t)

becomes

  ((compose and or) nil t)

, which is then expanded to

  (and (or nil t))

by ac.scm. Observe:

  arc> ((compose and or) nil t)
  t
