Description

Our filter parser currently treats successive wildcards (i.e., **) as a syntax error. Technically, there is no reason this needs to be a syntax error. Successive wildcards are equivalent to a single wildcard. We could handle this by simplying allowing it or by collapsing it to a single wildcard and effectively ignore it.
