In the stupid idea of the day department, for some reason I have felt the urge more than once in recent months for an operator which would invert the value of a boolean variable while evaluating to its pre-inversion value. For example:

```js
if (bool!!) console.log("used to be true");
```

The post-inversion case is less important since I can just write `if (bool = !bool)`.

There's always

    if (counter++ & 1) console.log("used to be true");
    if (++counter & 1) console.log("is now true");

or (counter++ % 2) if you prefer. And you get a free cycle counter in the bargain! (At the cost of flatlining to false at 2**53.)
