Summary: short-circuit meta w/ high priority & net dependency
should force net result before running normal rules

This is an enhancement request.
The goal of short-circuit rules is to stop furhter rule processing and save the
processing time. If you make a net rule a short-circuit rule, it probably
won't by default do much good, since net scores are harvested late in the game
to give them time to arrive.
If you make a meta rule with a dependency on a net rule, and then give the meta
both a high (negative) priority so that it runs very early and make it a short-
circuit rule, it should block processing of other non-net rules until the
dependency net rule can be evaluated, or times out.
This would have the effect of lengthening the time to process a mail message,
but could reduce the overall processor time for the message by eliminating most
rule processing. It would also have the ability to insure that the message
doesn't get marked as spam if the rule is essentially nice itself.
