Thanks very much for telling me that.

I think the reason why nobody mentioned it is that \& is more
intuitive to use (it can be seen as the AND operator).

On the other side, as said by vim help, \...@! is a little bit tricky.
It's hard to handle.

However, I found it's very useful in some special cases in the sense
that you can write your regular expression in a *positive* way.
