+ <entry>Argument path matches provide a specialised form of wildcard
+ matching for path-like namespaces. As with normal argument matches,
+ if the argument is exactly equal to the string given in the match
+ rule then the rule is satisfied. Additionally, there is also a
+ match when either the string given in the match rule or the
+ appropriate message argument ends with '/' and is a prefix of the
+ other. An example argument path match is arg0path='/aa/bb/'. This
+ would match messages with first arguments of '/', '/aa/',
+ '/aa/bb/', '/aa/bb/cc/' and '/aa/bb/cc'. It would not match
+ messages with first arguments of '/aa/b', '/aa' or even '/aa/bb'.</entry>
