how terribly convenient that that's exactly one character shorter
than my suggestions.  ;-)  can i interest you in HEREIF_SYMBOL() and
GONEIF_SYMBOL()?  USEIF_?  SKIPIF_?   :-)

never mind.  choose whatever it was you were going to choose.
if busybox users have learned to deal with "bb_opt_complementally" ,
we can deal with anything.  ;-)
