simplified domain of admins capability is the empty string
regular domain is .+ (match all).
simToReg(".+") is not capable to handle this string and return the empty string.
have you any clue about why can't simToReg handle it?
Because it's not a simplified regular expression.
We need to extend our simplified regular expression in order to support multilevel expansion. At the moment we only support special char * that is an intra-slashes expansion.
simToReg will convert * in [^/]+.
We need another special char to be converted in .+
no, really, I am missing something. Is there any bug? are there thing that do not work? are there things that a user cannot do?

It's not possible to create a capability with a domain that match all strings after certain char.
For instance it's not possible to generate some domain like '.+' or '^/?volumes/.+' passing through a simplified expression.

oh, ok, now this is much clearer.
Why don't we fix at the UI layer? I mean, if a user wants to have simplified expression (99% of the time that's what she wants) then everything is fine. Clicking on a certain checkbox, normal regexp can be inserted directly.
