I think I sent a mail to the list when I discovered it, the operations
simplify to "AND", which we don't have as a primitive. Eg foo~^bar
means result that match both patterns foo and bar. It is most
obviously useful when the second or first pattern is surrounded by *
so that it means *foo*~^*bar* gives files foobazbar, barbazfoo, barfoo
etc.
