---------------------------------

             Summary: !instanceof treated incorrectly in type checker
                 Key: GROOVY-8321
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8321
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Static Type Checker
    Affects Versions: 2.6.0-alpha-1
            Reporter: Paul King


Currently in:
https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/183b8fbf0248a2dceffbba684e50c3c2c060e46c/src/main/org/codehaus/groovy/transform/stc/StaticTypeCheckingVisitor.java#L703

The `instanceof` and `!instanceof` operators are treated the same when in fact the exact opposite is required.

{code}
[42, 'bar'].each { doit(it) }

@groovy.transform.TypeChecked
doit(arg) {
  if (arg !instanceof String) {
    println arg.toUpperCase() // MME: Integer.toUpperCase()
  } else {
    // println arg.toUpperCase() // [STC] [Static type checking] - Cannot find Object#toUpperCase()
    println 'is a number'
  }
}
{code}
Bonus points if the commented line in the else clause can be made to work.
