The current method passes things such as:

  invalidpat:something

thru as:

  syntax:invalidpat:something

the above method passes things such as:

  !invalidpat:something

thru as:

  syntax:!invalidpat:something

Which seems to be consistent.  It does however incorrectly put it in
'notpats' rather than in 'pats'.

Not sure if passing it thru as "syntax:!invalidpat:something" is what
you're saying doesn't work or if putting it in 'notpats' is the problem.
