This depends on your definition of “lanes”

Agreed. But what exactly do you mean by “Bicycle lanes”? designated cycle ways 
with at least priority for cyclists (dedicated bike lanes, protected bike 
lanes, cycle tracks, cycle paths, mandatory and advisory cycle lanes) ? Or 
shared use lanes with motor vehicles and some form of bike infra (bicycle 
pictograms, sharrows, suggestive lanes, smurf lanes)

True, but why do you bring “*=lane” to the party (lanes=*, *:lanes=*) now?

I disagree. And you still haven’t provided me with an example where having an 
identical lanes count (lanes=* and *:lanes=*) will solve an existing problem.
