 * This class is used to encapsulate DN pattern matching using wildcards.

 *
 * Value substring:  Any number of wildcards may appear in RDN attribute
 * values where they match zero or more characters, just like substring filters:
 *   uid=b*jensen*
 *
 * Whole-Type:  A single wildcard may also be used to match any RDN attribute
 * type, and the wildcard in this case may be omitted as a shorthand:
 *   *=bjensen
 *   bjensen
 *
 * Whole-RDN.  A single wildcard may be used to match exactly one RDN component
 * (which may be single or multi-valued):
 *   *,dc=example,dc=com
 *
 * Multiple-Whole-RDN:  A double wildcard may be used to match one or more
 * RDN components:
 *   uid=bjensen,**,dc=example,dc=com
