I see you are trying hard to think of a way to justify your
original prefix "--and" (or --FOO) implementation, but I simply
do not see much point in that.  I doubt changing the default
operator from --or to --and is less confusing than changing the
precedence for the users, so you would hear the same "I
personally feel FOO should not even exist" objection from me.
