Is there any precedent for the "!!" syntax? Something like ".!", "./!",
or "!(.)" would make the intention more clear, I'd think, as well as
leaving room for other extensions to be added later, and some
explicit-opposite, like "/!", to complement it. (It's not like people
are going around with binaries called "!", is it?)
Ignore my suggestions if it turns out that "!!" is used by other things,
but this one seems to be begging for someone else to come along with a
"me too!"
