Alternatively (if the above is a bit difficult to do), you may consider
the following, which may be less difficult to process:
INLINE <src> <dst> # -m <match 1> -m <match 2> ... -j ACCEPT
That way, you just parse the src and dst to determine the chain in which
to insert the inline statement ('src' or 'dst' should not contain
anything other that a zone, mind!) and then take whatever is after the
'#' character and include it after the '-A <chain>' statement. Would
that be easier?
