Description

the existing method RestrictionPattern.matches(@NotNull String path doesn't allow to indicate to the restriction evaluation if the path points to a node or property. while this makes sense for cases where the nature of the target item is not known, there are usages of the method throughout oak where the type of the target item is known (e.g. evaluations for a parent path). for those case it would be preferrable to call RestrictionPattern.matches(@NotNull String path, boolean isProperty).
For backwards compatibility the new method should come with a default e.g. falling back to RestrictionPattern.matches(@NotNull String path.
