In my more insane moments (caused by reflecting on Exim's Turing-equivalence)
I sometimes think that Exim's configuration should be a Tcl script. With
suitable choice of primitive functions the syntax needn't be too programish.
The result should be quite modular -- the various lookups and drivers would
each be a separate TCL extension, and string expansion would be replaced with
Tcl's own facilities.

Obviously there's about a snowflake's chance in hell of this ever happening.

Tony.
