Only the CIDR map supports CICR notation. It already supports 0/0.

The use of "*" in transport map is a constant source of concern.
It's inefficient to query every access map for "*" after every
lookup failure, but it's wrong to query it only once, when the data
comes from a DMBS such as SQL or LDAP that may change on the fly.
