 ### Fixed
  * Fix a bug where tags in data readers were resolved as Vars within syntax quotes, rather than using standard data readers rules (#1129)
  * Fix a bug where `keyword` and `symbol` functions did not treat string arguments as potentially namespaced (#1131)
+ * Fix a bug where `condp` would throw an exception if a result expression was `nil` (#1137)
