I have been thinking about that for a while. Right now it is needed
because we are supporting the following priorities:

0 /* only numbers */
filter /* only string */
filter + 10 /* combination of a string plus a number */
filter - 10 /* combination of a string minus a number */

The proposed design will allow us to continue supporting that. Having
said that, the only way to get rid of this num field is to parse the
string in parsing time and then store the resulting number as a symbol
expression in my opinion. Maybe I am missing something here. Have you
any idea? Thanks!

Do you mean to store "filter + 10" in the symbol and parse the string
manually using priority_type_parse() function? Thanks and sorry if I am
making a big mess out of this.
