This would be of quite limited use. What you'd actually want is
associate arrays, so you can set and get values depending some lookup
key, which itself is an expanded string (instead of the static names we
currently have), e.g. something like

set acl_m{$local_part@$domain blabla} = something

Hm, I think this would not be too hard to do, the basic code is already
there, all we need to do is add the expansion. Until somebody does this,
you can use

set acl_m_rcptdata = $acl_m_rcptdata $local_part@$domain=yourdata

and

${extract {user@domain} {$acl_m_rcptdata}}
