// VALUE is a sequence of zero or more characters "([A-Za-z0-9_-\.])". Max length is 63 characters.
// Delimiter is white space: (' ', '\t')
// Example of valid syntax:
//  "x in (foo,,baz),y,z notin ()"
//
// Note:
//  (1) Inclusion - " in " - denotes that the KEY exists and is equal to any of the
//      VALUEs in its requirement
//  (2) Exclusion - " notin " - denotes that the KEY is not equal to any
//      of the VALUEs in its requirement or does not exist
//  (3) The empty string is a valid VALUE
//  (4) A requirement with just a KEY - as in "y" above - denotes that
//      the KEY exists and can be any VALUE.
//  (5) A requirement with just !KEY requires that the KEY not exist.
