    I would have bought it if they said ifnot instead, it’s the same number of characters and wouldn’t require a major parser overhaul to support keywords with a ’ in the name.

      i mean, “unless” tends to be the usual term for an “if not” keyword in languages that implement such a thing

          totally agree; just saying that if it’s GOT to be something, that something should probably be unless… unless . . .

          I find that you need to choose carefully when to use it. Simple cases tend to be alright. Larger, more complex conditions shouldn’t touch it.
