set name=star

I’m still a bit confused about a statement like this:

pattern>_</pattern>
...
<set name="star"><star /></set> 

the name-“star”, should this be interpreted as “*” or as a hardcoded ‘star’?

ex, if the input would be ‘hello’, does it do something like:

star = hello;
or
hello = hello;

In that example, the NAME attribute of the <SET> tag should be as it is. After all, you’re setting the value to the same as the wildcard, so you don’t want to set the name to the same value. It should be “star = hello”, instead of “hello = hello”. smile

Not sure about the usefulness of that category, to be honest, but I’m sure someone, somewhere, had plans for it. wink
