 * I am not sure if this is implemented, if not please take this as a feature request.
 * Can I “query” different categories with AND or OR relationsships?
 * I see that you can do e.g.:
    [cat_count slug=”cat-1,cat-2,cat-3″]
 * But can i do:
    COUNT number of post in category 1 AND 2.. but NOT if they are
   category 3 ?
 * This is something which would come handy for us as we have posts which are in
   multiple categories and we would like to filter out duplicate counts.
 * An example of such “query syntax” can be seen on another plugin we are using (
   it displays the posts in certain categories).
    Please go here: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/other_notes/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/list-category-posts/other_notes/)
 * and you can see how the author implemented “Include AND”, “Include OR” and “Exclude”
   queries.
    Hope this helps.
 * Can this perhaps be done already? if not would be great if you could consider
   this.
