I had some of this cases in my old configuration. But, the dog ate it
^W^W^W^W it went down with the harddrive in my old server.

I used it mostly to set acl-variables somewhere in the acls, and later
checked them in the routers in some pretty weird conditions including
databaselookups etc.

I just think that something like
${if true:acl_m1}

is more intuitive than:
${if eq{$acl_m1}{1}}

Where you also have to remember whatever you set acl_m1 to true/1/yes
(I'm pretty bad in remembering these things).
