ISTM, it makes sense to just rename only ConditionalSet.pm, to
DisjConditionals.pm.  Or, rename them as

  Conditional.pm    => Condition.pm
  ConditionalSet.pm => DisjConditions.pm

and define 'Condition' to be a conjunction of "conditionals": a
"conditional" being an atomic condition defined by AM_CONDITIONAL.
