So if I send to filsrv/cyrus, then only exact matches and ancestor
wildcards are sent to, but if I send to filsrv/cyrus/*, then the
children are descended recursively as well, right?
I have an efficiency consideration: have a "wildcard" flag for sends
and subs, so any send or sub is valid (although authenticity and acls
still need to be checked). Otherwise, the server needs to check,
and report an error for a send or sub to /foo/bar*.
One other consideration. In the current system, a * in a sub and a *
in a send are subtly different. They will be different in the the
proposed system as well. I suggest different systems of wildcarding
on the user level, to avoid ambiguity.
