Comment(by filosofo):

 Trying to return inferred query values will be a mess because the current
 query logic is ad hoc. Its syntax only superficially resembles first-order
 logic; you cannot actually build logically consistent queries in general.

 Furthermore, some queries' tacit arguments are ambiguous.  For example, if
 I query `p=123`, do I really want just something that's of post type
 "post" and has ID 123?  Maybe I want any post type with ID 123.  Or maybe
 I want anything except revisions or drafts.

 Currently, if object 123 has post_type of "page," `p=123` will return
 nothing, but `p=123&post_type=page` will return it.  And that's a trivial
 example.  Go ahead and try to build inferred query values from behavior
 like that for more general situations. :)
