+command(params) of course might be just command(). (See 
+conditional.pm: match_included.) Trying to feed 
+ikiwiki a pagespec without params will get you instead:
+
+IkiWiki::PageSpec::match_glob($page, q{function}, @params) ( )
+
+Which is completely not desired. The second + on that line should be a *.
+
+None of the builtin pagespecs "work" with no parameters, so it's hard to 
+write a unit test for this. But can we at least write a helpful note in
+case the user is given to rebuilding the wiki by hand. --Ethan
