Summary: MBeanPermission implies is incorrect with wildcards

Initial Comment:
MBeanPermission is too strict on interpreting wildcards
in ObjectNames

for example, ("a#b[c:d=e]").implies("*") should return
true according to the rules in the JavaDoc

I am confused here. Are you saying that with:
  MBeanPermission p1 = new MBeanPermission("a#b[c:d=e]", "*");
  MBeanPermission p2 = new MBeanPermission("*", "*");
p1.implies(p2) should be true? The spec isn't supposed to
say that, and I don't understand how it can be read to. (I'd
certainly be interested in clarifications if this is not
already clear.)
On the other hand, p2.implies(p1) should be true.
