Re: Line/string triage?

I still think an 'except' operator (see 
https://github.com/invisibleXML/ixml/issues/249 for a lot of discussion) 
is still worth considering and has plenty of use cases - many EBNF 
grammars use similar.

For example in the XPath grammar we can very conveniently use:

    |FunctionName: QName ¬ ("if";"element"....).|

It's not the same as a 'not' operator
