I suppose that in the description of the unlessset attribute, 'not' should
be removed:
unlessset: the variable will be set unless the provided 'unlessset'
variable is set (Since 2.4)
Which is the same as your interpretation: "variable will only be set if the
provided 'unlessset' variable is not set".
