I strongly agree that $ will be better than !. As far as deprecations go, perhaps you could go with first a warning for one release cycle, and then leave it as a non-default configuration option for another release cycle before eliminating it entirely.

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.
