--- Comment #11 from Andrei Alexandrescu <andrei at erdani.com> ---
I don't think it's wise to add HOFs of which predicates just negate that of
other HOFs. I'm convinced that any programmer can be reasonably expected to
figure negation out without problems, otherwise we're liable to experiments a
la Perl/Ruby "unless" as a negation of "if". My understanding is that the
usefulness of such is still a matter of debate and style differences within the
respective communities.

I'll close this, please reopen if there are qualitatively new arguments.
