Tough, this win API is stupid... :-(  For my W2K box I found a
nice `dig.exe`, it comes with a libdns.dll, libbind9.dll, etc.,
so maybe you can use something in this direction.

That's probably the most important case.  Normally we could
say "nobody uses weirder characters".  But with local parts 
in mail addresses for the %{l} macro you never know

Maybe.  PermError typically means "your policy is broken",
and it also means "don't try that again before you fixed
it".  With 'no match' you get whatever matches next, that
could be -all as well as +all among other possibilities.

Actually you should give up with a "not implemented" for
such cases, same idea as "NONE" or "NEUTRAL".

Okay, folks will find it if they're curious, it's in the

translate the YAML to XML ?  That is still on the "ToDo"
list for the test suite.
