I can take a look at this too. Btw. I would like to add more such rules to 
allow at least something like if/else in the files.

Are you sure that this change anything in already existing cache files? I 
didn't look deeper in the cachefile code, but if the rule is not used there 
should be IMO no change in the binary cache and if someone use the rule he 
have to regenerate the cache.

But I can move the line to the end of the list, but I tried to group the rules 
logical.
