I dislike this solution, because conceptually an XOR is an Item_cond, regardless
of whether it is being optimized or not, and regardless of whether an
optimization is planned for it.
Conceptually, XOR belongs together with AND and OR and should be treated as
such. I am afraid that making XOR an Item_func will make some future changes
difficult, even though I have no concrete suspicion of this.
Thanks,
