How can use a wild card when part of the identifier is always changing?

Question
How can I use a wild card when part of the identifier is always changing?
How can I find an object, if part of the name is always changing?
Resolution
A quick way to work with accessors, or objects where a portion of the name or attribute is dynamic, is to use the Fuzzy Logic syntax. By simply enclosing the string in quotes with [ ], AIQ will treat that portion as a contains search, and not require a complete match.

Example 1
Given an object recorded as span("person testuser")
Where testuser matches the name of the logged in user
The Fuzzy Logic syntax would be span(["person"])
Example 2
Given a link generated as link("http://test.someurl.com/abc123")
Where abc123 matches the a unique resource ID
The Fuzzy Logic syntax would be link(["http://test.someurl.com/"])
