This reminds me - do we have a coherent plan for this in 2.0? Coz this
messing about with placement in Configuration seems doomed to failure in
the long run, IMO, as well as being completely tedious to manage.

Apache-SSL has this problem, too. In order to do some of its tricks, it
needs to be high-priority. But really, it only needs it for certain
phases. I suspect we need to be able to define priority phase-by-phase.

Cheers,

Ben.
