I see this example in the doc:

# We have a conf and classes directory, add to BBPATH
BBPATH := "${BBPATH}:${LAYERDIR}"

# We have a recipes directory containing both .bb and .bbappend files, add to 
BBFILES
BBFILES := "${BBFILES} ${LAYERDIR}/recipes/*/*.bb \
             ${LAYERDIR}/recipes/*/*.bbappend"

BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "emenlow"
BBFILE_PATTERN_emenlow := "^${LAYERDIR}/"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_emenlow = "6"

The doc says this about the BBFILE_PATTERN variable:

Variable that expands to match files from BBFILES in a particular layer. 
BBFILE_PATTERN is used in the conf/layer.conf file and must contain the name of 
the specific layer (e.g. BBFILE_PATTERN_emenlow).

so it sounds like the BBFILE_PATTERN is a regular expression to filter just the 
bb files belonging to this layer from all the BBFILES.  But when I set this 
variable to include also the recipes dir like so:

BBFILE_PATTERN_emenlow := "^${LAYERDIR}/recipes/", the layer name does not show 
up in bitbake-layers show-recipes command.  I mean this is just a more specific 
pattern for my recipe files in the particular layer right?  Found that in the 
get_file_layer_dir function:

    def get_file_layerdir(self, filename):
        for layer, _, regex, _ in 
self.bbhandler.cooker.recipecache.bbfile_config_priorities:
            if regex.match(filename):
                for layerdir in self.bblayers:
                    if regex.match(os.path.join(layerdir, 'test')) and 
re.match(layerdir, filename):
                        return layerdir
        return "?"

so looks like anything more specific than the ${LAYERDIR} will not match 
<layerdir>/test test string, so it won't work.  Is this intentional?

Thanks,

Andrew
