That might work (except drop the trailing "."), but it's inconsistent as
compared to the other ternary constructions.  That is, parsing can't tell
without infinite lookahead whether you have %(z.MODE.true.false) or just
%(z.true.false).  Of course we could just disallow the latter in the
case of the 'z' token, but that's still a little icky.

If we did this, it should probably be a pattern match or a prefix match
so one could do %(z.vi*.notemacs.emacs) or %(z.menu*.this.that).
