Is there any value in this going forward?

Is there a reason to reuse $address_data?  It seems unwise.

Folks passing data down using $address_data, letting content be
${extract}ed from it, may well want to log/process data from that, but
also have something else be passed in as the ACL argument.  Eg,
${extract{usercode}{$address_data}} for log-purposes, showing that
delivery was done by authenticating as that usercode.

If there's no specific reason to override $address_data, just add a new
variable.

OK, that doesn't seem too hard.


If the ACL returns non-accept, does that cause an immediate expansion
failure?  Does it count as a forced failure?

I've made it cause a failure, but I'm not sure of what type....
It's in expand_string_internal() like the notdef
case of EITEM_DLFUNC.
