I'm really not suggesting changing the default, I certainly don't want to
invalidate old data files. Adding functionality to include multiple clmt
statements in a single attribute is really what I'm after.

For example, instead of these (which by default get and-ed together):

clmt:stnd<=1-count
clmt:weap+armr+ench+ward<=50-points-msg=crbsb1

I'd like to do something like this (the '|' is 'OR'):

clmtstnd<=1-count)|(weap+armr+ench+ward<=50-points)-msg=crbsb1

This allows for current datafiles to remain the same and perfectly valid,
but also added functionality to combine the statements in was other than
'AND' if need be.

Yep, they're very similar. I'll probably just leave it as-is for now
(it's not really broken, after all...)

Thanks for your help!
