<GOM>Why, when I was a boy, not only did we have to check every single
return value individually, we also usually had to invert them! And we
didn't have no new-fangled "unless()" We had to type stuff like:
if(do_it(...))
{
/* catch errors here! */
}
And we liked it, because it was all we had!</GOM>
