The extra value is fairly low IMNSHO if we can distinguish between a magical and a non-magical 'all' - see the patch I just submitted.
Also, your point about the special sameuser and samegroup keywords is a good one. We should make those all work consistently (ie, quoting makes it not a keyword). Going in the "*" direction would only make sense if that were the only special case --- but it isn't. I don't think we want to start choosing random symbols for sameuser, samegroup, and other stuff we might think of in future.
Right. Revised patch sent to patches list.
cheers
