 In the "Not as good" version, the precondition that `1` is a valid char boundary is checked in `is_string_literal` and used in `foo`.
 In the "Good" version, the precondition check and usage are checked in the same block, and then encoded in the types.
 
+When checking a boolean precondition, prefer `if !invariant` to `if negated_invariant`:

+## Comparisons
+
+Use `<`/`<=`, avoid `>`/`>=`.
+Less-then comparisons are more intuitive, they correspond spatially to [real line](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_line)
+
+```rs
+// Good
+assert!(lo <= x && x <= hi);
+
+// Not as good
+assert!(x >= lo && x <= hi>);

 ## Documentation
 
 For `.md` and `.adoc` files, prefer a sentence-per-line format, don't wrap lines.
