I thought that was true of TiddlyWiki filters, given they're also
useful for permaview fragids?
I gained a lot of utility using a newline to combine multiple filters:

but using ';' as a union operator seems fine and more fragid friendly.
I'm not sure intersection adds that much beyond optimisation and
syntactic sugar.
