Maybe it would be better if the "glue" were to appear outside of the
double quotes. Eg (though I haven't thought the implications of this
particular syntax through):
+"&& reload_completed"
The plus sign would indicate that the two sets of conditions should be
concatenated together. It would also enable other terms in the
concatenation, eg +"|| some_other_constraint".
Doing it this way would avoid the need to try and parse part of the
contents of the condition string -- which strikes me as error-prone.
