+Nice.  So what are the path semantics?  For example, is the path case\r
+sensitive or insensitive?  Can you say folder:foo/bar, and if so, is the\r
+path rooted, or can it match path sub-segments?\r
+\r
+i.e. which of these, if any, is "folder:foo/bar" like?\r
+\r
+  (.*/)?foo/bar(/.*)?\r
+  ^foo/bar$\r
+  ^foo/bar(/.*)?\r
+\r
