Description janicki 2008-09-28 03:07:24 UTC
Sometimes I decide to flip the logic of a boolean variable.  For example, I may want to rename "isDisabled" to "isEnabled".  I think it would be a neat feature to 
automatically search the code for usages of that boolean, then carefully flip the logic... adding or removing a '!' where necessary.  Maybe this could be 
integrated into the "rename" feature as an option when it detects you're renaming a boolean?

In general I think it's always best to name booleans in the "positive" sense, but even I sometimes forget and need to fix it later.
