Why not just ifnot? Same count of characters but an o instead of a possibly problematic single quote.

If someone really wanted to add it, probably the best would be to use unless

I really liked having unless in Ruby; a ! can be easy to miss, while unless made it clear without needing to write out != true.

It's also cool when you do unless(!condition). I particularly like this.
