<p>it ruins the idea of the chaning API because it can not be used like this:</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="text" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);">query |= Type(types) | OtherTerm(...);</pre></div>
<p>In order for this to work properly, we'd need to use expression templates which would make the library significanly more complex.</p></div>

<p>Chaining would still be possible simply with another form:<br />
query = query | Type(types) | OtherTerm(...);</p>
