Well the best way to make sure there is no confusion is to discourage the
usage of both operators.

Every time there's an expression that contains an excessive number of !s it
can be refactored by extracting separate variables, using non forced
unwrapping, comparing with true and false etc.

Not sure a syntactic change is warranted.
