<p>
Column filter specifications may also be applied to arbitrary expressions
enclosed in parenthesis. In this case the column filter applies to all 
phrases within the expression. Nested column filter operations may only 
further restrict the subset of columns matched, they can not be used to 
re-enable filtered columns. For example:

<codeblock>
  <i>-- The following are equivalent:</i>
  ... MATCH '{a b} : ( {b c} : "hello" AND "world" )'
  ... MATCH '(b : "hello") AND ({a b} : "world")'
</codeblock>

lowest (loosest grouping), the operators are:
