I want !instanceof

I'm about a year late for project coin. But I still want an obvious Java language feature: !instanceof. To illustrate:

  public void equals(Object other) {
    if (other !instanceof Foo) {
      return false;
    }
    return ((Foo) other).bar.equals(bar);
  }

With the instanceof operator, null instanceof T is false for all values of T. Symmetrically, I suppose null !instanceof T should always be true.
