This came up recently. The Exim WishList has this:

"
(73) 17-Jul-02 M Match a list from within a condition

e.g.  ${if matchdomain {$domain}{+domainlist} ...
      ${if matchhost {$sender_host_address}{1.2.3.4/10:2.3.4.5/16}...


Thought needed about how to handle host names. This may be too messy to
specify cleanly.
"

However, FWIW, I must say that it would be an *extremely* useful feature
if Philip could find the time to add it. Even just support for named lists
would be a great start.
