Hello,
I don't really see the point of it as you self said this wouldn't add a
runtime check, so in what is it different to a comment?
More so reusing ! for this will, in my opinion, just lead to confusion as
people will think it negates the function, this is what
I would expect it to do at first glance.
Also comparing it to the nullable question mark is quite bizarre I find,
why not choose the ampersand for references instead?
At least it would cover the same "scope", as types have nothing to do with
how a function behaves.
Best regards
