Nope, these use the asterisk for matching of a version component |
| 14 |
range. So there is no string prefix ending in the middle of a |
| 15 |
component. |

In other words, =dev-lang/perl-5.22* matches version 5.22.0, so |
| 18 |
no version component is cut into pieces. Which is different for |
| 19 |
=sys-devel/autoconf-2.1* matching version 2.13. |
