That is precisely how the [_], [^] and [$] operators work.
>From the man page:
There can be several instances of setting the default/prepend/append
values in the configuration file. The later setting replaces the previ-
ous one for the rest of the configuration file. The
default/prepend/append values used for a given keyword/target pair are
the ones that were in effect at the point in the configuration file
where the target was mentioned for the first time.
Example:
MaxBytes[_]: 1250000
Target[myrouter.somplace.edu.2]: 2:[email protected]
MaxBytes[_]: 8000
Title[myrouter.somplace.edu.2]: Traffic Analysis for
myrouter.somplace.edu IF 2
The default MaxBytes for the target myrouter.someplace.edu.2 in the
above example will be 1250000, which was in effect where the target
name myrouter.someplace.edu.2 first appeared in the config file.
