Well..., assuming A and B are ints (or whatever), then A&B should return all
of them that are the same, in this case AFF_BLIND. A-(A&B) would then
return just what A has that they both don't, AFF_CURSE and AFF_BERSERK.
Don't have to worry about subtracking a bit thats not there, because it
wouldn't exist in (A&B). If you want what is in one or the other, but not
both, an XOR will do (A^B)
