in thread I've never seen this syntax before
Actually it is more subtle than even that. You can't replace !1 with 0 nor with "".
0 is wrong because, in a string context, !1 is "" while 0 is "0".
"" is wrong because, when warnings are turned on, 0+"" generates q(Argument "" isn't numeric) while 0+!1 is silent.
- tye (but my friends call me "Tye")
