Add ^^ as a logical boolean XOR expression

The binary expressions include &, | and ^ but the logical boolean expressions only have && and ||. Adding ^^ for XOR will be consistent (and it will make my code shorter).

&& and || are short-circuit because 'and' and 'or' 'stick' at false and true respectively.
^^ has no such property - both operands must always be evaluated.
This makes ^^ just a synonym for !=

We suggest using the mostly equivalent !=

oh! Thank you!!! that's what I need!!!! Trying to make sure both of my operands are not the same

For the record, since Dart 2.1, the bool class has had non-short-circuit operators &, | and ^.

They can be used where you want both sides to be evaluated, and, especially for ^, they can be used in assignments: bool parity = false; while (something) parity ^= checkSomething();.
