I think what you are really driving at is that you'd like to have some
other mechanism than choice-of-rule-name for users to determine ordering
of rule expansion.  That's a fair enough objection, but you'd still need
to get rid of orderRules() along the way.  Unless you *like* ordering
restrictions that were made purely for implementation convenience?
