Here, the literal J implementation (-.y is 1-y) might be used, though
the hooked horizontal bar would be more suggestive.

(The advantage of 1-y is that this works with bayesian values --
probabilities -- as well as with strictly boolean truth values.)

((That said, note that when working with bayesian values, we would use
* for and rather than the *. which is defined on booleans. Note also
that *. on booleans has validity predating the introduction of the
"logical negation" operator a bit over a century ago. Boolean algebra
without logical negation works fine with an integer domain.))
