Another possibility: !(nocd), which leaves room
for !(keyword1,keyword2,...) if needed later. Also, it is consistent
with the :(word) syntax of pathspecs.

But is this backwards-compatible? Don't we execute everything that comes
after the exclamation mark as a command-line via shell, where the
parentheses mean "open a subshell"?

Good point. I can imagine someone already having

[alias]
	foo = !(cd bar && $something) && $something_else

Your proposed (keyword)! is better.
