I always thought that the "!" prefix tends to be a bit ambiguous
because of its common notion of a logical NOT.
I mean that reading
=column-base(!last = false)
+float-left
@if !last
+last
reads to a Java/Ruby/JavaScript/C/… programmer as "IF NOT LAST" which
is exactly the opposite of its intended meaning.
On the contraty, I think using a "$" prefix positively reminds
programmers of other languages’ syntax, even if it’s PHP ;-)
So I would prefer the method of deprecating the "!" notation and
moving towards the "$" syntax.
Greetings,
