Serilog.Expressions has a number of language features in common with Seq (though the implementations are generally very different). I checked over how wildcards are evaluated after having a bug reported in Seq's implementation, to see whether similar issues existed over here.
And, yes! - Found some problems in how wildcards work, leading to potentially incorrect results in the presence of indexing into potentially-undefined values.
After adding some new test cases for that issue, I fleshed out testing of
