My observation on result still stands.

There is no way to specify no way to say

"everything below here but not here"

If it were a regular expression it would be here:[.]+

which would match

here:one
here:two

but not

here


It just seems to me that the colon before the wildcard should indicate a
single new segment and we don't care what it is.  This is the way it works
for all the other instances of the wild card.

so

X:*:Z  means matches the regular expression X:[^:]+:Z  in english: X,
colon, anything but colon, colon, Z

The colon is critical in the pattern match.

But when the wildcard is on the end the colon is ignored

X:* in english is: X, anything

I think it should be X, colon, anything.

I think the colon is important.

But I suppose it is too late to change the way the wild card works now.
