I mean during expansion. For instance:
hostlist blah = 127.0.0.1 : 1.0.0.0/8 : /etc/bleh
some_expanded_var = ${lookup {4.3.2.1} iplsearch {+blah} {yes}{no}}
in addition to having
some_other_expanded_var = ${lookup {1.2.3.4} iplsearch {/etc/bleh}}
But, having only one of the above is much better than having neither,
of course. :-) Actually, searching in host lists is more interesting
than searching in files, because if one needs to search a file, one can
just make a host list containing only the file inlined, and then search
the host list instead.
