Bug: TOC shows ! before escaped WikiWord

When the first word in a heading is a WikiWord escaped with an exclamation mark, the exclamation mark appears in the TOC (see example below). One workaround is to use <nop> instead of an exclamation mark, but I believe <nop> is now deprecated and no longer documented in TextFormattingRules.

Test cases

WikiWord at Start of Heading

---+++ !WikiWord at Start of Heading

Another test with WikiWord in the middle

---+++ Another test with !WikiWord in the middle

checking acronyms like AJAX

---+++ checking acronyms like !AJAX

and NopTag still works

---+++ and <nop>NopTag still works

not escaped WikiWord

---+++ not escaped WikiWord

not escaped AJAX

Is somebody working on a bugfix for this? For consistency a single exclamation in a heading should behave the same way as <nop>!

This seems now to be fixed on TWiki.org (with TWiki 4.0)
