wildcard()

A wildcard() schema type represents one or more headers that are otherwise unspecified.

It may take an int indicating the number of headers or a * to indicate any number of headers.

When wildcard() has no args it represents any number of headers, same as "*".

Note that wildcard() can represent 0 headers. Essentially, a wildcard by itself will not invalidate a document unless it defines a specific number of headers that are not found.
