It's not that it doesn't, only that it needn't. Specifying explicitly that
it doesn't isn't possible. va'i xorlo doesn't really "fix" this per se, in
that under the modified "x1 looks for x2 at x3" definition, you can't
explicitly say "I'm looking for a green thing, I don't care which one", at
least not without introducing another bridi.
