/// A dictionary with wildcard lookups.
// <P>
// The keys in this dictionary are wildcard patterns.  When you do a get(),
// the string you pass in is matched against all the patterns, and the
// first match is returned.
// <P>
// The wildcard matcher is fairly simple, it implements * meaning any
// string, ? meaning any single character, and | separating multiple
// patterns.  All other characters must match literally.
