That's what I was gonna say. We can just put appropriate
Python into the "conditions" field that's eval()ed on demand.

Hm, but then we are going to pin down clients to using Python.
But, OTOH, they can just run it as a script... So, if the
snippet is run as a standalone script it should pipe it's
"decision" to stdout or else it's functions will return the
results... Sounds doable.
