How does that make it better?

That's [b]retarded[/b]. You are adding [i]unnecessary[/i] complexity and [i]unneeded[/i] syntactic sugar to a compact and simple programming language. In short, you are ruining the perfection of C.

This seems like as good a thread to post this as any.
#define unless(a) if(!(a)) makes no fucking sense.

Why does this exist?

He is probably trying to turn C into Lisp.

Because Perl. You do have to twist your brain around a little bit for it to seem natural ("do unless (condition) { ... }" is how I read it), but if you've been bitten by a missing or missed ! nested inside the parens, you come to appreciate it more.

Lisp has the same thing. Even though Lisp is shit, it's still nice to have multiple ways of expressing something.
