I'm confused as to how this can be correct.

If I have a rule denying read access to */tags, and a caller wants to
know if the user has recursive read access to /project/foo, doesn't the
answer depend on whether /project/foo contains a "tags" somewhere? How
can you know if the */tags wildcard entry is relevant without knowing
what paths exist inside the tree?
