Yeah I'd like to hear about what issues the current longest match
logic was causing
in the commit message.

This seems like an overly verbose way to accomplish exact match. The
property_contexts
file has things like:
* <-- match everything
foo.bar. <- match prefix foo.bar. properties
foo.bar.baz <-- currently matches foo.bar.baz, foo.bar.bazbaz, etc. No
trailing .
could be changed to mean exact match.
Really what you would want is that if it doesn't end with a dot, don't
do a prefix
match. No need to add the $ semantic AFAICT.
