selector-not-notation

Specify simple or complex notation for :not() pseudo-class selectors.

    a:not(.foo, .bar) {}
/**  ↑
 * This notation */

In Selectors Level 3, only a single simple selector was allowed as the argument to :not(), whereas Selectors Level 4 allows a selector list.

Use:

• "complex" to author modern Selectors Level 4 CSS
• "simple" for backwards compatibility with older browsers

The fix option option can automatically fix most of the problems reported by this rule.
