The most likely use case I can think of involves SPs that happen to
interact with smaller sets of IdPs, and want to query for them all at once
for discovery purposes. But that's a union case, not an intersection, and
it's pretty contrived once you get to a non-trivial count of IdPs.

And for the record, I suppose switching to '*' is the simplest way to
address the syntax objection, perhaps with '+' being kept as a union
operator.
