Marking inverted branch insets

Hi all,

I'm working on the highly variative document that contains many branches 
frequently changing their states. And it is not very convenient because 
it is impossible to see immediately if current branch inset is inverted 
or not. Have you experienced such issue? What do you think about marking 
inverted insets in some way? Maybe darker/different label color? Or some 
additional symbol like "!"?


Really I'm also thinking about more flexible system -- to connect branch 
insets to branches using logical expressions. So the branch inset could 
have logical combination of existing branches, not just branch name with 
optional inversion. For example now it is impossible to have a part of 
the document that will be outputted when any of 2 branches is active. 
But with logical expressions we will have inset "FirstBranch or 
SecondBranch" that solves this task. More complex combinations also will 
be possible.


Best Regards,
Yuriy
