Support for asterisk in verb name

If the name contains a single star, however, then the name matches any prefix of itself that is at least as long as the part before the star. For example, the verb-name foo*bar matches any of the strings foo, foob, fooba, or foobar; note that the star itself is not considered part of the name.

If the verb name ends in a star, then it matches any string that begins with the part before the star. For example, the verb-name foo* matches any of the strings foo, foobar, food, or foogleman, among many others. As a special case, if the verb-name is * (i.e., a single star all by itself), then it matches anything at all.
