Yes -- the whole point of the simple arrow-less version is to make
using predicates very easy.  For example, instead of some

1. (test E1 =satisfies> even?
         E2 =satisfies> (lambda (x) (> x 50)))

you'd write

2. (test (even? E1)
         (> E2 50))

It's probably good to compare this to the suggestions in this threads
for the arrow-less version:

3. (test (and (even? E1) #t) => #t
         (and (> E2 50) #t)  => #t)

IMO, (2) gains much readability over (1), and (3) loses most of that.
