Unexpected id: query behavior

[Zaczero]

Context:

• 1144246456 - valid way id - https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1ruv
• 4892888216 - valid node id - https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1rux

Now the funny part begins:

nw(id:1144246456,4892888216) returns just the node

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1ruz

way(id:1144246456,4892888216) returns nothing

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1ruB

way(id:4892888216) returns corrupted? data

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1ruD

I did test it over multiple instances and they all share the similar behavior.

By the way, I never quite understood why combinations of different object types are permitted in the first place. After all, object ids for nodes, ways and relations don't share a common number sequence, hence filters like nw(id:1144246456,4892888216) don't make much sense to me. I would simply reject them.

JOSM uses a object type prefix for each id, so that the multi object query is unambiguous: w1234,r567,n123,n234.

I think it's just for convenience reasons. I quite like it.
