When narrowning to instance with regexp type special characters
(including, ?, +, and *), owl interprets the instance name as a
regular expression, showing zephyrs to instances which match the
regular expression, not always showing zephyrs sent to the particular
instance.
This is probably not an issue for most people in most cases, but I
happened to notice it after seeing an accidental zephyr to instance
"*" earlier today.
