@eric-milles @paulk-asert So, just for grins, I tried to see exactly what
Python allows for those operators, and they are only supported on Sets.
Obviously, a different language implementation doesn't require Groovy to behave
identically, but this makes me lean towards Eric's recommendation to only
support the operators on Sets.

> Key: GROOVY-11127
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11127
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: groovy-jdk
> Reporter: Spencer Allain
> Assignee: Paul King
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 5.x
>
>
> Many languages conventionally allow sets to use '|' as union, '&' as
> intersection, and '^' as symmetric difference operations on sets.
> This ticket is proposing adding these operations as DefaultGroovyMethods for
> Set and SortedSet such that the below tests should pass:
> {code:java}
> Set a = [1,2,3,4] as Set
> Set b = [3,4,5,6] as Set
> assert (a | b) == [1,2,3,4,5,6] as Set
> assert (a & b) == [3,4] as Set
> assert (a ^ b) == [1,2,5,6] as Set
> Set d = ['a', 'B', 'c'] as Set
> Set e = ['A', 'b', 'D'] as Set
> assert d.and(e, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER) == ['a', 'B'] as Set
> assert d.and(e, Comparator.naturalOrder()) == [] as Set
> assert d.xor(e, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER) == ['c', 'D'] as Set
> assert d.xor(e, Comparator.naturalOrder()) == ['a', 'B', 'c', 'A', 'b', 'D']
> as Set
> {code}
> A [Pull Request|https://github.com/apache/groovy/pull/1915] exists that
> implements the desired additions for the 5.x groovy branch (master), but it
> should be fairly easy to make the functionality available in 4.x if desired.
