I noticed a difference with wildcard matching in Artemis from 5.x and I
think the Artemis version is wrong.

Let's take the following wildcard pattern as an example in Artemis:
*a.b.c.#*

Pattern   Matches?
a.b.c         yes
a.b.c.d      yes
a.b.cabd   yes

Example in ActiveMQ 5.x: *a.b.c.>*

Pattern   Matches?
a.b.c         yes
a.b.c.d      yes
a.b.cabd   no

It does not make sense to me that a.b.cabd would match a.b.c.#.  This
happens because the matching logic just replaces .# with .* in a regex
matching pattern so it matches 0 or many characters.  There is a delimiter
there so I think the 5.x approach is correct.  Also maybe we should allow
user's to be able to plug in custom matching logic to override the default?
 (This is something i can do in a PR)

Thoughts?
