Because of a couple of different issues.

One, we need backward compatibility with other plugins that currently 
use wildcards...

And two, on some ATM or SONET devices, we can have multiple PPPoA 
streams over the same interface, to multiple destinations, 
dynamically... and need to be able to have a single rule to enumerate 
them all (since this can be dozens of sessions).
