Feature.

condition = <string>

    This feature allows you to make up custom conditions. If the result
    of expanding the string is an empty string, the number zero, or one
    of the strings no or false, the condition is false. If the result is
    any non-zero number, or one of the strings yes or true, the
    condition is true. For any other value, some error is assumed to
    have occurred, and the ACL returns defer. However, if the expansion
    is forced to fail, the condition is ignored. The effect is to treat
    it as true, whether it is positive or negative.
