--- Comment #5 from Jeremy Harris <jgh146exb@???> ---
I'm not clear that "trumping" to subvert the normal nesting would be good,
at least as default behaviour. The problem really is the use of this one
variable for side-effect results (here, from inlisti) and for the working-store
(here, in reduce).
${reduce...} is documented to use $value; we could only change it by
adding optional behaviour, which also means syntax. At least until
someone designs Exim version 5, we're stuck with it.
"Before" would be the caller of ${reduce...}, which could be a textually
enclosing expansion, an acl condition or modifier, or an option.
It is not (either of) the inner expansions.
This seemed obvious to me, but since you query it perhaps it is not.
On the point of "some operators" - I didn't see any other expansion-conditions
where it made sense. If I missed some, please say.
