Well, I maintain I would love to see this control structure implemented. I understand a non English
speaker might not have the same level of understanding of the word "unless" as a native
English speaker, but you can say the same of any other keyword in PHP or any other programming
language written in English, and I fail to see how that is a valid argument against its inclusion.

It looks like this conversation dried up after the rather out-of-context confusion
over unless somehow meaning "more".
Can we move past that please, as it's a ridiculous non-issue.

Rasmus: toby was not suggesting that "uniqid" is the opposite of "iqid", he is
saying that you can have "un" at the start of a function or keyword without it
automatically flipping the meaning of the next few letters and confusing people -
as you suggested in your comment yesterday.
In neither situation does "un" switch the meaning of the following letters, so if
it is ok for one function/keyword it should be ok for another, right?
I don't want to argue, I just want to make sure people are clear. I would hate to
see this conversation derailed by confusion or people loudly agreeing.

Now you are just being silly. "uniqid" is "unique id" from the latin root
"uni"
meaning one or singular. Makes perfect sense . It isn't "un" anything.
