Multiple conditions of different types are "AND". Multiple conditions
of the same type are coalesced into one line and are effectively "OR".

This means that constructing "AND" cases involving something like
communities and as-paths is easy, but trying to do "AND" cases of
two communities or two as-paths requires creating new access-lists
that enumerate all the allowable combinations.

Why route-maps are the way they are probably has to do with "easy"
extensions to the original model that are embedded in the code and/or
firmware that works "everywhere", a more general decision language
would probably be bugs-from-hell for the next n-releases.
