Which is why it's not useful here - it has no effect on the structure,
it just changes the name, so it cannot be used as an
atomic-insert-of-many-rules. The necessary feature would be a 'swap
chains' command, that replaced all references to one existing chain
with references to another existing chain (not that I'm advocating
it).
