// topicMatcher is a filter expression to verify if a list of topics contained
// in an arriving message matches some topic conditions. The topic matcher is
// built up of a list of conditions, each of which must be satisfied by the
// corresponding topic in the message. Each condition may require: a) an exact
// topic match; b) a match from a set of topics; or c) a wild-card matching all.
//
// If a message contains more topics than required by the matcher, those beyond
// the condition count are ignored and assumed to match.
//
// Consider the following sample topic matcher:
//   sample := {
//     {TopicA1, TopicA2, TopicA3},
//     {TopicB},
//     nil,
//     {TopicD1, TopicD2}

// topics, the first any of [TopicA1, TopicA2, TopicA3], the second mandatory
// "TopicB", the third is ignored by the filter and the fourth either "TopicD1"
// or "TopicD2". If the message contains further topics, the filter will match
// them too.
