Hello,
I have a doubt about wildcard usage. I can see something (perhaps) 
strange and before investigating in the wrong direction I want to check 
if this is simply my wrong assumption.

What I can see as an example is:

mosquitto_sub -v -h things.bluewind.it -t "#"
--> this shows immediately all topics that have been published as 
"retained", both beginning or not with a "/":
--> BUT then will only show topics being published NOT beginning with a "/".


mosquitto_sub -v -h things.bluewind.it -t "/#"
--> this shows immediately only the two topics that have been published 
as "retained" AND begin with a "/":
--> and then will only show topics being published beginning with a "/".

Is this correct and/or intended behaviour? It seems to me that the 
second situation is correct, but in the first situation I expect a 
coherent behaviour for retained / current pubs (why not show all topics, 
also beginning with a "/"?).

Thanks!! S
