@pvillard31 I think this still is not exactly what we need. Even a null
record should be returned when given a Wildcard. I contend that in all cases we
should return the array value, null or otherwise. I think perhaps the issue
that you're hitting is not related to WildcardIndexPath but rather ChildPath /
DescendantPath.
