I definitely agree that @nosent is not a good name; dropping into this good
work midway, it took me a while to realise that it referred to (no)
sentinels, rather than something not being sent!
There is a degree of cognitive dissonance to the '@no... ' form which I
think should not be underestimated (said he, almost using a double negative
;-o )
@clean sounds like a good choice to me.
