I agree, but we can maybe do even better. Consider:

/user/a/b/c
/user/x
/user/y/b

actorSelection("/user/*/b/c")
will give 3 replies, 2 of which are ActorIdentity(None)

I think it should never reply with ActorIdentity(None) after a wildcard
fan-out to more than one branch.
Non-matching wildcard can reply with None, and after wildcard match of one
child it can also reply with None later.
