Thanks for working on this.

I know I sent a RFC using typeof(), I wonder if you could just use the
selector instead, it's a bit of a lot of type typeof() . typeof()
probably.
So this is left as this:
type osf name
in concatenations, like this:
nft add set ip filter allowed "{ type ip daddr . tcp dport; }"
Probably I would ask my sysadmin friends what they think. I spent too
much time on coding, so all these typeof() look natural to me, but it
might be a bit too much syntactic sugar for someone that is more in
network operations, not sure.
P.S: patch 1/8 and 2/8 are related to this patchset? After quick
glance, not obvious to me or if they are again related to multiple
nft_ctx_new() calls.
