Summary: :!~ not a symbol

Initial Comment:
:!~ is not an instance of Symbol as :=~ is.

irb(main):001:0> :!~.class
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):1: parse error, unexpected tNMATCH, expecting tSTRING_CONTENT or tSTRING_DBEG or tSTRING_DVAR or tSTRING_END
:!~.class
   ^
        from (irb):1

It might just be due to the fact that tNMatch is not included as part of the "op" symbol in parse.y
