[nos-bbs] anyone using '+' wildcard in their rewrite ?

[Gustavo Ponza]

Good afternoon from here,

I never/rarely used such a 'wildcards' but only the asterisk '*'.

I made an extensive work in the year 2010 for assembling any
news on the old JNOS and the new JNOS2 and in this concern
I found the following: 

--------------
1. The template field is used for match testing on the incoming address.

An incoming address template may contains a combination of verbatim
ASCII text and special characters “?*+\”.

Legend:
'?' matches any single character
'*' matches any number of consecutive characters (including zero)
'+' matches a sequence of one or more characters
'\' preceding a special character causes the following special
    character to be treated as an ordinary ASCII character (not special)
