Potentially, but it's hard to use something like that in regular rule REs.
That sort of smarts would probably need to be in a plugin.
Maybe (from my naive point of view) if not probably (from your more
experienced point of view).
I would think that it would be possible to build meta rules that would depend
on a __LANG_EN or __LANG_FR type rule that would then apply the various logic
about the different ratios of different permutations.
Hm. Possibly, yes.
Which, brings up a question: Do all (sub)rules get evaluated in a meta rule?
Or is there an order of operations to them? I.e.:
meta MY_META_RULE (__LANG_FR && __UNICODE_TEST_FR)
Would __UNICODE_TEST_FR run / consume resources even if __LANG_FR evaluates
to false?
Yes, all the subrules get evaluated. There's no shortcutting because a
subrule may be used in any number of meta rules.
