Research direction

Start with the DEBUG wildcard behavior described in the issue, especially -myapp:*:debug and app:json-sig:debug. Determine whether one suffix-matched tag can be enabled while the rest remain disabled, then document the supported behavior or clarify the requested change with maintainers.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have tags lower level log messages by suffixing them with :debug. They stay off using -myapp:*:debug. In the DEBUG wildcards, is there a way to enable just one (like app:json-sig:debug) or must I enable all by pattern or break them out by name some other way?
