The problem is "^.*$" matches both properties and child nodes.

The problem is we'd need to process the schema under definitions. The
YAML encoding we validate against always encodes strings as arrays as
dtc has no way of knowing if a given property is a string array or
single string. So to avoid a bunch of boilerplate in every binding, we
process the schema to transform single strings into arrays of length
1.

It's probably best to stick with the patternProperties approach. I
think you can do something like this:

"^.*$":
if:
type: object
then:
patternProperties:
'^(function|group)$':
...

I'm not completely certain this works though, so if you can send me an
updated binding with what you have so far I can test it out.
