check: """
Unless blocks should avoid having a negated condition.
The code in this example ...
unless !allowed? do
proceed_as_planned()
end
... should be refactored to look like this:
if allowed? do
proceed_as_planned()
end
The reason for this is not a technical but a human one. It is pretty difficult
to wrap your head around a block of code that is executed if a negated
condition is NOT met. See what I mean?
