No, it wouldn't, because of this:

The above should be identical to:
    if (SomeFunction) return false;

Anything different is a recipe for misunderstanding.

If you want to find a "return inverted", find another syntax. If I read "return
false", I expect the function to return false (or the return type constructed
from false), not anything different. The trailing portion should not affect it.

It does not look nice. It looks unreadable and prone to confusion.
