Waiting seems sometimes to be a good thing.  As I tried to write the
documentation I reasoned again abot the sense of the code and couuldn't
find a good example which could not also easily be written now with.
Since a rule like ".*" matches ever you just put a your common rules
there and if for some group you don't ant them you write a style for
that group.  Hence the negation is implicit in the ".*".  So theres no
need for complication of the code.  If I'm totally wrong please correct.
