RFE: Enhanced SELF keyword

This is a minor request, but would help usability when ABE is being used extensively, and I believe it would also make rules more readable.

A common rule pattern is:

Code: Select all

Site <list of sites or complicated expression>
Accept from <same list or expression>
Deny
To simplify this and reduce typing errors, would it be feasible to introduce a new ABE keyword in the Accept clause, that would mean 'everything in the Site expression'? Maybe SELF*, eg:

Code: Select all

Site .google.com .google.com.au .youtube.com
Accept from SELF*

Are there any plans to implement this, either in NoScript or SABER?

That is not a bad idea at all. However, unlike the other custom keywords that SABER uses, which tie it to NoScript, this one would be appropriate even for a standalone ABE.
