Description

Extension 0.0.36
VS Code 1.48.0-insider

It would be nice to do AND. For example, this works

$runtime=repo:dotnet/runtime
$runtime is:open label:area-System.Buffers OR is:open label:area-System.IO.Pipelines

it would be easier to write as

$runtime=repo:dotnet/runtime
$runtime is:open ( label:area-System.Buffers OR label:area-System.IO.Pipelines)

(possibly with an AND there)

I can't find a way to do that currently. With larger queries, the duplication could get unwieldy.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the extension's query parser and existing handling for OR and repeated AND clauses, then define how parentheses and optional AND should behave using the examples in the issue; done means grouped queries produce the intended GitHub issue results.
