I think it would be nice if user could be able to select multiple
preferred  bands, not just only one. The use case I came up with was
this 'all-but-lte'.

You can't limit preferred bands with 'any'. I was trying to find an
alternative for polluting API by listing all the possible combinations
('gsm_umts', 'gsm_lte', 'umts_lte') in API.

However, I don't think we need this anymore as Rémi kindly pointed out
a solution earlierwhich involves dictionary with strings and booleans.
