Thanks for explanation. I missed that it could be useful to mix rules.

Hm, I see it as:
[List.Rules:RulesA1]
A
B
[List.Rules:RulesA2]
C
D
So result is RulesA1 + RulesB + RulesA2. It is a bit less comfortable
but only a bit as I think because we need to change john.conf in any
case. However it could be generalized to selectors for rules. I
mean a way to take part of rule, something like:
RulesA[0:2] + RulesB + RulesA[2:4]
or may be something more perlish with flexible slices
RulesC[0..5, 9] + RulesD[1, 3, 5]

Personally I do not see better solution. What I wrote above is not

I think Frank Dittrich touched it on john-contest list.
