8 years ago I apparently thought I was being clever by having an empty then block and only having actual code in the else branch.

    unless bob == 'man'
      p Bob is a not man!

that code should give a one-way ticket to the developer...

void MyMethod (ref int i)

Console.WriteLine(42);

Console.WriteLine(42);

void MyMethod (const int i)
