Without sticky stars and bangs, wouldn't the global-xref in @foo+bar*baz be just "+bar"? A related question which I don't think was answered: do we support relative subsegments? I.e. can you have @foo refer to @foo*bar by just "*bar"? If so, we wouldn't have the ability to reference a global-xref relatively because there is no LCS (* or !) in the absolute reference, i.e. @foo cannot refer to @foo+bar just by saying "+bar" because it could be mistaken as an absolute reference. =wil
