I did a lot of doc updates this weekend for the next release (2.0.41)
which I'll hopefully get out today after a little more testing. This
is in there now.

I misspoke slightly there... I believe it's actually more of a
combination of more specific and order. But the above order is
correct. "*" should always come first, otherwise it'll augment or
override everything else.
As for why those other ones weren't being placed Actively, I don't
know. I'll have to investigate that some.
