Is there, or is there any planned way of being able to chain a sequence
of predicates (like BROWEXCLUDE, or whatever) together with logic to
form an compound?  I'd like to exclude User-Agent `htdig', but only from
localhost, for instance.

If there were a generic way of doing this, it could be powerful, I think.

<my unsolicited thoughts>

The configuration syntax, with its block capitals and simple key-statement
structure seems a little unsophisticated, and redolent of DOS batch files
from the mid-80s.

It would be, perhaps, nice to have a generic interface to a series of
named `facts' about any given log entry, accessed in a generic way, and,
as hinted above, be able to predicate on a combination of these facts
various user-defined actions.

In this sense, analog would perhaps be split into two bits: a log-file
parsing library, and something to calculate statistics.  As it were, by
default, the `action' for all lines would be to hand the log line over
to the statistics engine for aggregation, but you could have the
possibility to do other things.  What these other things are, and useful
examples of them aren't, unfortunately, springing to mind right now.
