Help improve http redirect iRule

I wrote this iRule so that my team could hopefully manage HTTP redirects easily, using a simple string data class with this format :   Host,URI,TARGET_URL,HTTP_CODE   Example:   www.example....

Yes, makes sense to sacrifice the wildcarding of hosts for performance. but in my version, I think 10.0, there does not seem to be a way to define a string data group as key and value, but just a list of strings....

Maybe there is a way though.. am thinking about it....

I added an improvement to the rule, where the 'taget" field is "eval"ed, so the user could put: 

 *.example.com,/foo/bar*,http://target.site.com[HTTP::uri],301

and it would behave like http classes do.
