For terms where each document (mail message) has only one term with a
given prefix, OR is a more natural default, since AND can never
match. In notmuch we have id:, path:, and thread: of this type (and
maybe lastmod: and date:, although these are not boolean prefixes),
compared to tag: where each document can have many terms with the same
prefix.  Making tag: behave differently than the others is probably not
that nice either, so mostly I'd suggest explicitly writing what
operators you want.
