New submission from JitterMan:
One can use '*' as an 'accept all' pattern to match(). It would be nice to also
use '' as a 'reject all' pattern. These 'accept all' and 'reject all' rules are
useful as defaults. Currently passing '' to match() causes an exception. While
it is easy enough to catch the exception, the need to constrains the way
match() must be called and makes the calling code needlessly complicated and
fussy.
