    No, sorry. I need to be able to find that under

    aaa.bbb...

    there are

    aaa.bbb.ccc...:
    aaa.bbb.ddd...:

    Basically, I need to descend the tree, for the moment without even
    caring what the right side is - that may come later.

    I would be happy to have a function that if called with a specification
    of a node (aaa.bbb) would call my (provided) function for all descendants
    of (aaa.bbb...). Naturally, I'd probably use it recursively.

    The issue is not what are the values (rhs), but what (lhs) defines are
    in the database.
