Such change as automatic casting strings to boolean for conditional
expressions does not break backword compatibility, IMHO.

However, look & feel of Exim's API leaves much to be desired...
I would prefer C/Perl style (without numerous {}), which does not require
syntax-highlighting editor to be managed even for simple expressions.
Say, <cond1> || <cond2> instead of or{{<cond1>}{<cond2}}.
