Warns when an if statement or conditional expression have a negated condition that can be inverted.

Example​

❌ Bad:

// LINT
if (!flag) {
  ...
} else {
  ...
}

// LINT
if (flag is! bool) {
  ...
} else {
  ...
}

final newValue = !flag ? value - 1 : value + 1; // LINT

✅ Good:

if (flag) {
  ...
} else {
  ...
}

if (flag is bool) {
  ...
} else {
  ...
}

final newValue = flag ? value + 1 : value - 1;
