The rule snippets under tests/ pretty much all use obsolete syntax,
so I'm attaching a test script (which doesn't make much sense, just
testing features) so people can get a feeling for the syntax.
    

Interesting, that looks very much like ferm's syntax:

 http://ferm.foo-projects.org/download/examples/webserver.ferm
 http://ferm.foo-projects.org/download/examples/dsl_router.ferm

(ferm is a popular frontend for iptables, developed in 2000 by Auke
Kok; I took over maintainership a few years ago)
  

Indeed, it looks pretty similar :) The function things is also something
I wanted to add later on. Currently I'm looking for a nice syntax to
declare, define and modify sets outside of rules. I'll have a look at
your manual, maybe I can find something I like :)
