+# -------------------------------------
+# BIRD export filters cannot see which neighbour they are exporting to, and

+# in a function taking the neighbour AS, and named filters are thin wrappers
+# around it. Sessions that should be individually selectable get their own

+# evaluated with AS 0, which means it obeys 210036:0:0 but cannot be singled
+# out. Add a wrapper per neighbour as the need arises.
