Description

I'm reasonably certain that LWG has forwarded papers for C++23 that use the syntax (for a type pack class... Ts):

  requires (!(meow && ... && Ts))

and other papers that use:

  requires (!meow || ... || !Ts)

These forms are functionally equivalent. I think we should pick one syntax for such negated folds and use it consistently.

Review the surrounding constraints and the referenced C++23 wording to determine the applicable scope. Done means the selected syntax is used consistently in the relevant draft text.
