Subject: To be not, or not to be not?

That is not the question

Code in question:

module AuthenticatedSystem
  protected

 # Returns true or false if the user is logged in.
    # Preloads @current_user with the user model if they're logged in.
    def logged_in?
      !!current_user
    end
...

Is !! as simple as it looks, or does it have meaning beyond a double
negative? Google doesn't recognize !! in a search.

I see it as "Not (current_user == Nil)"
