I would need a way to get the index.
If I put information back in the rule descriptor I can just store a pointer 
(the ultimate array index). If I don't touch the descriptor I'm stuck with a 
pointer to the descriptor and any information I can obtain with it, but no 
unique identifier that is immediately be used as an index in an array.
