No, none of the above is supported in the (default) RulesBase matching engine. All the RulesBase class supports is "*/" on the front of a pattern. And all I'm suggesting is to also allow "*" as a pattern. The features you suggest would be nice to have in the default RulesBase implementation, but would invole a major rewrite of that class. Having said that, the ExtendedBaseRules and RegexRules classes support much of this sort of stuff I believe (I haven't used either of these much myself).
