 	  For pair sets, expressions like <cf/(123,*)/ can be used to denote ranges (in
 	  that case <cf/(123,0)..(123,65535)/). You can also use <cf/(123,5..100)/ for range
-	  <cf/(123,5)..(123,100)/. You can also use <cf/(*,123)/ which is translated as

 	  You can also use expressions for both, pair sets and int sets. However it must
 	  be possible to evaluate these expressions before daemon boots. So you can use
 	  only constants inside them. E.g.
