13 * class {} blocks MUST be specified before anything that uses them. That

17 * that matches a user will be used. So place spoofs first, then specials,
18 * then general access, then restricted.
20 * privset {} blocks MUST be specified before anything that uses them. That
21 * means they must be defined before operator {}.
