Thanks for getting the ball rolling.
Regardless of this unrelated regression, after looking at what ec775c4
wanted to do again, I am very much tempted to just revert it.
It aimed to take these three
* ident
foo mybin
bar mybin ident
and wanted to omit 'ident' from "foo" when there is this macro definition
elsewhere:
[attr] mybin binary -ident
But the real point of the macro was that the users do not have to know
their internals, iow, if you explicitly specify a pattern that overrides
the contents of the macro, that explicit pattern should win. When deciding
the value of "ident" attribute for path "foo", "* ident" is stronger than
"foo mybin" (the latter of which does not say anything about 'ident'
explicitly).
