Matches top-level hostnames that end in a trailing slash. `RECURSIVE_MATCH`. Matches all paths that end in a trailing slash. Do not use if you use `fileExtensions` or `filePaths`.
`fileExtensions`	File extensions for which the match target scans.
`filePaths`	File paths for which the match target scans.
`hostnames`	Hostnames for which the match target scans.
`isNegativeFileExtensionMatch`	Whether the match target triggers on files not included in the file extension list. `true` triggers the the match target when a match isn't found in the list of file extensions. `false` won't match outside the list of file extensions.
`isNegativePathMatch`	Whether the match target triggers on paths not included in the file path list. `true` triggers the the match target when a match isn't found in the list of file paths. `false` won't match outside the list of file extensions.
