Correct. The idea was that people were trying to use match_address{}{}
and friends for this and there was too much power, so I added something
which was very simple and did what people were trying to do already.

For regexps, use the forany condition:

${if forany{foo:bar:wibble}{match{$item}{\Ne$\N}}}

Note that conceptually, inlist is equivalent to forany with an eq{}{}
comparison in the test section.
