[OE-core] what is the priority of wildcarded .bbappend files?

   didn't immediately see this in the documentation anywhere, so what would
happen in the following situation? say i have a layer that has three
different versions of a recipe:

* recipe-1.0.bb
* recipe-1.1.bb
* recipe-1.2.bb

   if i want, i can extend each one with a .bbappend file:

* recipe-1.0.bbappend
* recipe-1.1.bbappend
* recipe-1.2.bbappend

   or if the same .bbappend file applies to all of them, i can just create
the wildcard file "recipe-1.%.bbappend". but can i do this?

* recipe-1.1.bbappend
* recipe-1.%.bbappend

such that the more specific match takes precedence, so that the 1.1 bbappend
file is used for that version, and the wildcard version is used for  
all others?
is this written down somewhere that i just missed it?
