I re-read the line and I think you meant

    ?VAR makes a path match if VAR attribute is set, set to false,
    or set to value for the path

and I shouldn't have read it as a 3-tuple ("set", "unset", "value matches"), but as a 3-tuple ("set", "unset", "value"). That is,

    A path (whose attribute state is one of these three) matches.

So I retract "does not make sense"; it still is "hard to grok", though.
