ACK.. Long range...

The Forth programmer likes the concept of 'verb' for the case statements (your 
"acl") - nice 'natural language linkup.

Ease of understanding might be carried even further (Exim 7?) if that concept 
is 
regularized and continued.

Perhaps extended into further grouping of the variables by their 'skill set'.

Ex: I am currently struggling with:

${lookup dnsdb{mx=a.b.example}{$value}fail}

- Wherein I cannot seem to pin-down what 'personality' this critter has from 
the 
docs.

Separate post...

;-)

Best,

Bill
