effect. Adding *1.2.3.5* changes the existing range to cover *1.2.3.1-1.2.3.5*.
Without this flag, *1.2.3.2* can not be added and *1.2.3.5* is inserted as a new entry.
+Equality of a value with a set is given if the value matches exactly one value
+in the set.
+It shall be noted that for bitmask values this means, that
+*'expression' 'bit'[,'bit']...* (which yields true if *any* of the bits are set)
+is not the same as *'expression' {'bit'[,'bit']...}* (which yields true if
+exactly one of the bits are set).
+It may however be (effectively) the same, in cases like
+`ct state established,related` and `ct state {established,related}`, where these
+states are mutually exclusive.
