I've now tried to modify fccfg.c along those lines and attached an idea 
of how I think it might work.
It's probably far from being particularly elegant (or bug-free), but in 
a simple test case (matching a number of families through multi-family 
<alias> and <test>) it seems to do what I have in mind:

(1) Save away every match in the test (but at most one per FcOpComma 
operand). For this, FcSubState is updated to allow a linked list that 
contains additional malloc'ed elements in the case of additional matches.

(2) For assign/prepend/append edits, go through that linked list and 
apply every edit once for every match, instead of once for the test. 
This means, it should simulate the behavior of separate rules.

It's not extensively tested, but maybe it can further fuel the discussion...
