       Conway discourages using "unless" because it leads to double-negatives that are hard to understand.
       Instead, reverse the logic and use "if".

           unless($condition) { do_something() } #not ok
           unless(! $no_flag) { do_something() } #really bad
           if( ! $condition)  { do_something() } #ok

       This Policy only covers the block-form of "unless".  For the postfix variety, see
       "ProhibitPostfixControls".
