I've had a look over the code (look for `nnmail-split-trace' in
nnmail.el), and it doesn't look trivial. For advanced splits, for
instance, basically everything matches. It's all one big rule.
(setq
nnmail-split-fancy
'(| ("sender" "4ad recording artists list" "4ad")
...))
Of course, one could be creative and say that the top-level `|'
"doesn't count", but there might not be a `|' at the top.
