It works the way it does because there are no real boolean expressions
in Exim; everything works in strings. The "condition" condition was 
added as an escape for people to test things that were not provided by 
conditions such as "hosts", "local_parts", etc. It kind of grew as 
people wanted more and more complex tests.
