Okay, that's how it's documented to work.  And some experimentation suggests that despite the documentation, that's not actually how it works.  Huh.
A CHECK-DAG followed by CHECK-NOT causes the CHECK-DAG match to bound the range for the CHECK-NOT.
However, a CHECK-NOT followed by a CHECK-DAG does not cause the CHECK-DAG to bound the range of the CHECK-NOT.

That feels more like a bug in FileCheck, than a mistake made by the test-writer?  In this patch I'm trying to avoid test-writer mistakes.
