Thanks for the report! Currently unary operators don't allow whitespace between the operator and the operand. It may be possible to relax this for some operators in some situations but I'll have to think about it further.

My main concern is if we add a future a ! b binary op then I wouldn't want people to have gotten used to ! x in the meantime.

Note: not (currently behind coffeeNot flag, but see #287) allows whitespace after it, so that's an alternative to use.
