stating to think tht nobody actually gives a damn about category
intersection, except for a couple of vocal people on the mailing list. And
out of these only a fraction actually _works_ on the problem.
Perhaps just category intersection isn't enough. I was thinking about a tool
that would allow intersection of various article data, including the
categories.
For example, suppose that I am maintaining [[1991 in art]]. I would want to
find all articles that link to [[1991]] and are in a subcategory of
[[:Category:Visual arts]]. And don't even get me started about what could be
done if template parameters would be recorder somewhere...
