Ok I see. Unfortunately that makes it deviate even more from

I posted your patch on the list in May 2019;
https://bird.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2019-May/013355.html

It did not compile so I fixed that in patch 2;
https://bird.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2019-May/013356.html

And then aligned the preference syntax in patch 3;
