+.Sh RATIONALE
+\fB+\fP-flags are included because it is too cumbersome to use
+.Xr comm 1 .
+.Pp
+Only one test need to pass because this allows the user to
+represent the required condition in conjunctive normal form
+by pipe together multiple instances of
+.Nm xtest
+for conjunction. Disjunctive normal form is not as simple.
