That's what I don't know how to do. "Each of {tea xor coffee}" is not
standard logic as far as I know, and I don't know how to express
it succintly in Lojban. If you express it into standard notation it would
be something like "Cause me to know for each of {tea; coffee}
whether the pot contains it, bearing in mind that the pot contains
one and only one of them". But that's kludgier than what I had:
