The way I envisioned it was all apropos commands taking _list_ of
regexps (separated by whitespace/commas), and applying them in an `and'
manner.
The other suggestion, to look for names that contain at least two of the
specified terms, seems more useful to me.
Given the particular nature of apropos usage in emacs, I think there
wouldn't be any conflict in practice from using whitespace/commas as
the list delimiters.
I agree.
There might also be other things we can do, like if a term begins with
an alphabetic character, anchor it with \<.
I disagree; I think it is better to allow prefixes too.
That will tend to find a small number of extra matches,
which will not do much harm, and sometimes it will do good.
