> There appears to be a bit of disconnect (or at least language differences)
> between what the documentation says and what actually happens
> # {{/cat/}} and {{/cat/*}} seem to behave identically
> ** FWIW, that's what documentation also _seems_ to suggest, but the
> terminology is confusing [0] [1]
> ** the tests [2] [3], though not exactly the same, seem imply the equivalence
> ** 'descendants' implies "all", so we should either add "all" to both [0] and
> [1], or remove it altogether for consistency - essentially, we should use the
> exact same description for both the patterns if they are equivalent in all
> respects, or update the language to highlight/contrast the difference
> # {{/cat}} says "the node and all its child items" [4].
> ** the test [5] indicates that descendants can be accessed as well
> ** For consistency, we should consider replacing child-items with
> 'descendants'
