A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
please add java.util.function.Predicate.not( Predicate predicate ), I have found myself writing some variant of the following in every project since Java 8

public interface PredicateUtils {

    static <T> Predicate<T> not( Predicate<T> predicate ) {
        return predicate.negate();
    }
}

JUSTIFICATION :
it is hard to invert method references, here's my tests for the descriptions methods. 

    @Test
    public void testNot() throws Exception {
        assertThat( "predicate", not( ( o ) -> true ), instanceOf( Predicate.class ) );
        assertThat( "negates", PredicateUtils.<Boolean>not( ( o ) -> o ).test( true ), is( false ) );
        assertThat( "method ref", Stream.of( null, null ).filter( not( Objects::nonNull ) ).count(), is( 2L ) );
    }
