Terseness is curseness for diagnostics: being able to combine constraints into a single expression (and then simplifying it) comes with a loss of specificity in the messages. It may be tedious to separate out constraints, but if you want constraints bundled together in way that reduces the chances of effective diagnostics (i.e. you are only interested in pass/fail) the grammars are pretty good at that.
