You mean that a beam setting override must contain a (* . (...)) rule?
Even if a (* . (...)) rule exists in the default beamSettings?

I would have naively expected that a beam rule override would change
some particular beaming behavior, and that when it does not apply the  
rules
defined in beamSettings would be used.

That should appear clearly in the doc (but maybe I have missed it).
