"You may gain a Foo. If not, gain a Bar. If not, gain a Foo"

You have to gain either a Foo or Bar unless both piles are empty

I already suggested that on the first page, but the problem is that it can cause you to gain two Foos depending on how you read the second "if [you do] not".

It could go like this though:

You may gain a Foo.  If you do not, gain a Bar.  If you do not gain either, gain a Foo.

[Awaclus]

You may gain a Foo or a Bar. Repeat this until you have gained a card.

[LastFootnote]

You may gain a Foo or a Bar. Repeat this until you have gained a card.

What if both are empty? Infinite loop.

You may gain a Foo or a Bar. If there are no Foos or Bars in the supply, stop carrying out this effect. Repeat this until you have gained a card.

If all Dominion players were also computer programmers, this would be perfect.

I think the best up to now were these:

"Gain a card that is a Foo or a Bar." (Workshop)
"Choose a Foo or a Bar in the supply and gain it." (Band of Misfits)

Edited because of terrible orthography.

I think the best up to now where these:

"Gain a card that is a Foo or a Bar." (Workshop)
"Choose a Foo or a Bar in the supply and gain it." (Band of Misfits)

So, for the card idea itself it would be like this:

Old Crone
Action-Attack $4
+1 action
+1 buy
Each other player chooses a treasure in their hand or a Curse in the supply. He gains all the Curses chosen this way, you gain all the treasures chosen this way.

In three-player games, how can both of my opponents each gain both of the chosen Curses?

I refuse to believe that three-player games exist!

What was wrong with the suggested,

Name a card that is either Foo or Bar and is in the supply.  Gain that card.

Nothing. But it uses both the workshop and the Band of Misfits wording ("a card that is X") and ("name a X in the supply") and therefore can be said with less words.

Well, "Gain either a Foo or a Bar that is in the supply" would work as well.

Edit: Oh it was already said, I seemed to have missed some posts while reading.
