Let's not forget that there is the library function 'subtract' for
this purpose. What you wrote could be written as (subtract 1), which
is more readable in my opinion. But hey, what do I know, I think using
the underscore for unary negation (à la Emacs calculator) would be an
acceptable enough compromise.
