When classifying types, it is often necessary to test for any one of several variations of an aspect. A common case is ignoring an aspect which means to allow a match for any variation of that aspect and is only useful when also testing for other aspects. Ignoring an aspect means using an "unspecified_*" tag. For example, allowing a match for any decoration requires using the <tt>unspecified_decoration</tt> tag.
I have the following problems with this: - it's too long for a single paragraph
Not at all. It has all of four sentences. Well formed paragraphs can have many more sentences.
Oh, I didn't mean to say it's otherwise ill-formed. Just that it is too long for my highly subjective taste in this context!
