If I may, I think the argument has always been that 

1) Foo & Bar makes total sense
2) int|float makes total sense
3) int & string is illogical so wouldn't matter anyway
4) Foo|Bar rarely makes sense but may sometimes, and its legality is an 
acceptable trade-off to get the first two.

In previous discussions it always seemed that people fixated on case 4 and 
ignored the usefulness of cases 1 and 2.
