lsearch does already exist. The only thing is that the single-key
lookup is not powerful enough to yield what needs to be done. What I
think is necessary is to be able to read flat text files in a
query-style lookup. This is independent of the query language being
used, but exim's string expansion language probably is the right thing
here.

I feel like I am missing your point here.
