// were observed.
//
// The template is expressed as a slice of strings, with the parameter
// automatically injected between any two of them, or in the special case of
// only one fragment, after that fragment.
//
// The resulting expansion depends on the number of values seen. If only one
// value is seen the resulting snippet is just the plain string one would
// expect if no parametric optimization had taken place. If more than one
// distinct value was seen then the resulting apparmor rule uses alternation
// syntax {param1,param2,...,paramN} which has better compilation time and
// memory complexity as compared to a set of naive expansions of the full
// snippet one after another.

// For example the code:
//
// 		AddParametricSnippet([]string{"/dev/", "rw,"}, "sda1")
//		AddParametricSnippet([]string{"/dev/", "rw,"}, "sda3")
//		AddParametricSnippet([]string{"/dev/", "rw,"}, "sdb2")

// Results in a single apparmor rule:
//
//		"/dev/{sda1,sda3,sdb2} rw,"
//
// This function should be used whenever the apparmor template features more
// than one use of "**" syntax (which represent arbitrary many directories or
