They are run during matching which is why they are run in an arbitary
order.

This is a problem, but on the other hand if they are not run first,
then it is not possible to use an action to change what is matched
later on.  Everyone relies on this quite heavily it seems.

I think what we will have to do is create separate lists
of actions and rules. Create a list of all matched actions
and run them in the correct order first and then do the
type rules.
