Make the following simplifications of boolean expressions:
!(!a || b) => ( a && !b) !( a || !b) => (!a && b) !(!a || !b) => ( a && b) !(!a && b) => ( a || !b) !( a && !b) => (!a || b) !(!a && !b) => ( a || b)
Fixes #55092

I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry, so I'll update the check to surround the replacement
Comment Actions Testing on VTK revealed this change: - this->SliceMapper->SetBackground((this->Background && - !(this->SliceFacesCamera && this->InternalResampleToScreenPixels && - !this->SeparateWindowLevelOperation))); + this->SliceMapper->SetBackground( + (this->Background && + (!this->SliceFacesCamera && this->InternalResampleToScreenPixels || + this->SeparateWindowLevelOperation))); Which is incorrect. So more improvement is needed for the case of !(x && y && !z) or !(x || y || !z) is encountered.
Comment Actions I also noticed that some of the simplifications being performed resulted in !(x || !y) coming out of other parts of the simplifier, so it should be the case that running this check on your code should result in no further changes to your code if you run the check again.

Hey, that looks great at a glance. I need to prepare for Utah C++ Programmers presentation on Wednesday, so I won't be able to revisit these recent reviews until next weekend probably.

This whole implementation would be alot simpler(and likely faster) if you matched on the generic case then in the check callback work out what replacement you need.
