What kind of use cases do you imagine for category intersection? I
suspect that as soon as you open the door to intersections ("hey
everyone you can find all the articles that are both 1895 deaths and
poets!") then people will want arbitrary numbers of intersections
("hmm, '1895 deaths, poets and unreferenced' didn't work"). Maybe
it
would be possible, along the lines you suggest, to allow greater
numbers of intersections in some time-restricted way ("You requested a
4-level intersection less than a minute ago. Please wait and try
again.")
Is it not feasible, for example, to perform all intersections on a
different machine or something? I seem to recall someone was operating
a 3rd party category intersection site...?
