As I thought through the implications of 'flexible' alignment of group
names, I decided that I *had* to extend the wildcard matching in order to
maintain script compatibility.

I think we'll be OK. If the behavior is not right, we'll fix it.

Jmol now is more 'flexible' and will accept residue names regardless of
the alignment of the characters. (The spec says that they must be
right-aligned, but Eric says that this sometimes presents problems).

This also had an impact on wildcard behavior ... if the group name is too
short, a wildcard pattern will match as if there were extra spaces at the
beginning and/or the end of the name, as needed. I believe that this
behavior is necessary in order to maintain compatibility.

Examples:
  select [t]   # matches T, does not match +T
  select [?]   # matches all single letters
  select [??]  # matches single and double letters
  select [???] # matches everything
  select [?t]  # matches both T and +T
  select [t?]  # matches T, does not match +T
  select [??t] # matches both T and +T
  select [?t?] # matches both T and +T
  select [t??] # matches T, does not match +T]
