Current Output

Error: Invalid syntax. When used with a type, 'not' can be followed only by 'nil'

Expected Output

false

Possible Solution

Do the not portion in a separate step, or put the T definition outside the block (not always possible, e.g., if when is inside block and T only works inside when).
