Andrew, Thank you - I hadn't taken the trouble to figure out the spec first time round, and made a mistake when I did try to do so. I found the fact that foo/bar and foo/* have the same priority to be a bit counter-intuitive given the general thrust that more specific matches should have higher priority, so having it illustrated as below is very helpful. (Another reason for reading the spec carefully is that anyone with prior exposure to Prolog may, in a general way, expect first-match to take precedence over last-match.) Francis.
