[Developers] OR operator in query

[Christian Hirsch]

ok, so what I'm doing is to query all "basic" information for any
topic. By basic I mean roughly all the content (properties) which also
shows an a topic page in Freebase.
More precisely, I'm starting with a topic ID (e.g. /en/the_departed)
and am interested in all related topics (name plus ID) and the type of
relationship (name plus ID), in the case of a movie this would be for
example:

- Country of origin (/film/film/country): United States (/en/united_states)
- Genres (/film/film/genre): Thriller (/en/thriller)
- Performances (...):
