Allow .throw to filter on multiple categories

[Maistho]

I'm thinking of opening a PR to add a method to filter on multiple categories when using .throw.

My idea is to add two boolean operators & (AND) and | (OR) that can be used when filtering categories.

Use-case:

We would like to categorise our nades with categories such as:

• a
• b
• smoke
• take
• hold
• retake
• flash
• long
• mid
  etc...

Then it would be nice to be able to throw all smokes to retake A by combining the categories.

For example:

.throw smoke&a&retake would throw any saved nades that are categorised with smoke, a and retake

.throw smoke|a would throw any saved nades that are categorised with either smoke or a

.throw smoke&b|smoke&a would throw any saved nades that are categorised with either smoke and a or smoke and b

Is this something that you would be open to merging?

I'm still not fully decided on adding both AND and OR, I can't think of very many usecases for OR so I might only add AND to start with.

It would be a breaking change for anyone currently using & or | in their category names, but I don't expect many people to do so.

Agreed.

Also agreed. It might be worth a cvar to disable the behavior, just in case someone is using them.

Sure, as long as the implementation is relatively straightforward, and I think it should be.
