but as you said, it ain't pretty: what about simply replacing [] with ()? |
| 15 |
&& to match || in portage and logical AND in C etc. seems wise too. |

Allow both if you *have* to maintain backwards-compatibility, but it makes |
| 17 |
it more like portage syntax, which folks are used to: |
| 18 |
some-cat/foo(>=4.0&&<4.3) seems clean, for this example. |
| 19 |

To my mind, | seems like a good second-level operator, so one could have: |
| 21 |
cat-foo/bar(~3.6||~3.7|>=4.0&&<4.3|>=5.1) while still using the operators |
| 22 |
everyone is used to for most things. |

(& makes no sense in that context, of course.) |
