Since I'm almost completely certain that this proposal can't advance with the ! syntax, here's the PR to change it to use keywords.

@ljharb, I'd like to understand why you think the ! syntax is completely inviable. Have you had a chance to look at my latest update on the incompatibility, in #1 ? Based on this data, at the very least we should be having a conversation with TS folks before committing to a particular syntax.

Even if it can avoid clashing with TypeScript, I think the ! syntax - combining a token with a keyword - is hard to read and understand and inherently undesirable.
