Marked as reviewed by dholmes (Reviewer).

We've had some internal discussion and the general position is "no negative naming" and a preference I believe for "Use" as a prefix if a prefix is needed/desired. There will probably be a style-guide update proposed for the general case. So my objection is overridden and so withdrawn. :)
