/**
 * A parser for target patterns.  Target patterns are a generalisation of
 * labels to include wildcards for finding all packages recursively
 * beneath some root, and for finding all targets within a package.
 *
 * <p>A list of target patterns implies a union of all the labels of each
 * pattern.  Each item in a list of target patterns may include a prefix
 * negation operator, indicating that the sets of targets for this pattern
 * should be subtracted from the set of targets for the preceding patterns (note
 * this means that order matters).  Thus, the following list of target patterns:
 * <pre>foo/... -foo/bar:all</pre>
 * means "all targets beneath <tt>foo</tt> except for those targets in
 * package <tt>foo/bar</tt>.
