Is there any way to use AND in the instance\_filters parameter instead of OR?

For instance I would like to be able to filter on

tag:env=stage  
AND  
tag:Owner=me

Not at the moment. It's possible via boto and the EC2 API. I'd propose  
using a syntax such as:

instance\_filters = tag:env=stage&tag:Owner=me

Hi Chris and Daniel,

I took a stab at implementing this: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/10413](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/10413)

Comments appreciated!
