No, not currently. I don't think that phrasing makes sense for anything except for 'visibility', so if that's an important feature, I'd consider implementing its definition a very different way. e.g. by allowing visibility to be defined on the entire property group rather than by wildcarding on properties. But I've heard objections to that before, so I've been hesitant to add it -- it'd be trivial to add later, though. liane
