Its cleaner than AND, but I think we should avoid
FILTER ?x + 1 < 4 FILER ?y + 2 < 4
even though it makes sense if it has the same semantics as AND, it reads a
bit oddly
I have a mild preference for a closer relationship to SQL:
SELECT ?var FROM { :a :b ?var } WHERE ?var < 3
But I can see why that might be confusing.
