Sorry this is such a basic question ...
I'm having difficulty understanding just what the difference is between
saying
anchor "foo"
and
anchor "foo/*"
What exactly goes wrong if you leave off the "/*"? The implication is that
without the "/*", rules inside the anchor "aren't evaluated" -- ??? But
then, if they aren't evaluated then what does anchor "foo" accomplish? How
do the filter rules in anchor foo get evaluated if all you say is anchor
"foo" with no "/*"? If the anchor rules in anchor foo *are* evaluated when
you say anchor "foo", then why bother with "/*" -- it just makes the rules
harder to read.
Does this have to do with what may already be there in the anchor before an
anchor rule for foo is seen for the first time?
This is all very confusing. The documentation and FAQ make it seem as
though anchor "foo" and anchor "foo/*" should be synonymous.
