The performance of an embedded scripting language may cause problems. It
occurs to me that if I were to make it possible to link a C function
with Exim, then you could either write your stuff in C (regex handling
is already there using PCRE) or you could escape from C to Perl or
(presumably) Python, or anything else.
The problem, of course, is specifying the interface.
