Each part of the table belongs to a so-called *buffer*. The HTTP
method belongs to the method buffer, HTTP headers to the header buffer

buffer in a signature. The keywords ``distance`` and ``within`` are
relative modifiers, so they may only be used within the same
buffer. You can not relate content matches against different buffers
