Yeah, I think it could turn out ok.  Using '&' and '|' in the set 
operations seems more natural/consistent to me and so maybe worthwhile 
to try that approach first.

It's also a nice time to introduce the bitwise operations between count 
values.  I thought about adding that on one occasion and also know 
others have wanted it.

Sounds good to me.  I'd find most of them more convenient and wish I'd 
had them in the past.
