I prefer `toggle()`/`toggled()` to `invert()`/`inverted()`.  I could go on about why but I'm not 100% that this extension adds sufficient utility that it passes the inclusion bar. I would vote against adding them under either name.

I feel more strongly about `.isTrue`/`.isFalse`. I don't think we need them.
