Good.
Can you plz give example where this '*' syntax is useful ?

I'm afraid of costly qries in db for such paths:

> 'smarty/*' === 'smarty' are equivalent

Most efficient sql: WHERE LEFT(path,6) ='smarty'

> 'smarty/par*' retrieves smarty/parameter_1
>                     and smarty/parameter_2

Most efficient sql: WHERE LEFT(path,10) = 'smarty/par'

> 'smarty/par*/options' retrieves smarty/parameter_1/options
>                             and smarty/parameter_2/options

I don't see sthg else than WHERE paht LIKE 'smarty/par%/options'
   * is it standard sql (postgres? sqlite?)
   * isn't it too long to run
   * such qries cannot be cached efficiently
