The advanced stuff is deterministic, while the non-required stuff is 
less so (UA-ordered), was the reasoning, so put the deterministic stuff 
first to keep it deterministic.

In practice only a masochist would use both ways of entering optional 
constraints in the same call, as the difference is marginal. Advanced 
gives you more control, it is not a fallback, in my mind.
