I've brought this up before, but was pretty much slapped down about it.
My hack for this is to create a perl style hash inside an acl variable
with $local_part@$domain as the key. Eg in your rcpt acl:

set acl_m0 = $acl_m0\n$local_part@$domain=${quote:Some data}

Then in your router you can extract "Some data" on a per rcpt basis
with:

${extract{$local_part@$domain}{$acl_m0}}

You've got to be careful you escape things properly though.
