Matching is AFAIK left to right, but you tried right to

No I didn't.  Please read my previous posts on this subject.

These previous posts also say that you matched "all" before
deciding what the "*" might.  That's obviously right to left
instead of left to right.

Good: me(_at_)example (my name)
Bad : me(_at_)example  my name)

Right to left:  unstarted comment near "me(_at_)example  my name)"
Left to right:  unregonized token "my"

I did a "best match".  "all" _is_ valid so "*" is the invalid
part so it is an invalid qualifier.

That's not how it's done, example.com is also "valid", but if
you have m=x:example.com you can't say that m=x is an invalid
<mechanism>, it's an <unknown-modifier> m=   A very important
difference, PermError vs. "skip unknown modifier".  Bye, Frank
