Description Sebastien Arod CLA 2016-04-29 05:28:21 EDT 
! Operator is easy to miss when reading through code in some situations.

It is only a single character but it invert the meaning of a whole statement.

If it could be made more obvious it could save some brain power to focus on more important topics.

A way to achieve this is to have a dedicated code style property for ! operator.
We could have an style pref for :
* "operators except !" 
* "! operator": 
Similarly to what is done with return keyword
