That was why I chose it :)

It certainly is, but we already have multiple 'word' terms with all/any,
so it's at least consistent.
The issue, of course, is when you want to have multiple terms to a single
relation which include whitespace. However, this seems unlikely to occur
in a form that can't be expressed as multiple and/or clauses.
BTW, we have 'all' for and, 'any' for or, but not 'none' for not.
I think it'd be consistent and useful to add this in 1.1, especially as it
gives us a single clause to express NOT
