As much as I felt odd about it in the beginning, I now feel that !() is the 
best solution.  Simply because it works how we want and is already 
implemented.

I'm actually kinda glad that {} doesn't work because I'd rather leave 
everything the way it is ;)

P.S. I'm a little shocked that it took this long to see that obvious 
counter-case :P
