In zwgc, the subscription "message,sipb,%me%" is different from
"message,sipb,*".  I can send messages to one but not the other; for
example, if I am only subscribed to "message,sipb,*", then "zwrite -i
sipb jik" won't work.

However, unsubscriptions do not appear to behave this way.  If I punt
"message,sipb,*", and I am subscribed to "message,*,%me%", then
"zwrite -i sipb jik -m frep" won't work, even though it should.  An
unsubscription with a recipient of "*" should not override a
subscription with a recipient of "%me%".
