With current `&' and '|' operator you cannot split a mail to a
destination depends on multiple condition.

OK. Maybe we can, by specify the SPLIT target of a FIELD as nil:

 (& ("subject" "gnus" nil)
    (from "lars" nil)
    "guns.lars")

But how do I say I want to spilt the mail to "mail.spam" if its
"x-bogosity" contains "spam" *or* its "x-spam-status" contains "yes".

Of course I can write

 (| ("x-bogosity" "spam" "mail.spam")
    ("x-spam-status" "yes" "mail.spam")
    "mail.misc")

See, for every FIELD I have to duplicate the SPLIT, "mail.spam" in this
case.
