>                 Key: GROOVY-2840
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-2840
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: syntax
>    Affects Versions: 1.5.6, 1.6-beta-1
>            Reporter: Mingfai Ma
>            Assignee: Daniel Sun
>             Fix For: 4.0

> It would be nice if we could use:
> - (3 !in [2,3,4]) or (3 not in [2,3,4])  instead of  (!(3 in [2,3,4]))   
> - also for instanceof 
> Remarks:
> - It doesn't look like a big issue if it's just "!(x in ['x'])", but when the line is longer and more complex and when use together with other parenthesis, skipping one pair of parenthesis means a lot in code clarity. It's just like in SQL, we can add a NOT to NOT LIKE or NOT IN.
