Expanded options have a asterisk suffix on the type, e.g.

|received_header_text|Use: main|Type: string*|Default: see below|

I cannot read Phil's mind (yet :), but I'd guess he thought it's not
needed, so the performance hit is saved.

So what? That's quite common and usually . Mails servers often handle
thousands of domains, and while mailer-daemon@???
could/should be a valid address, mailer-daemon@??? is
usually not. And I don't think it's correct to send mail from an address
that does not belong to oneself. Anyway, the envelope sender of bounces
is empty, so the From header address is mostly an optical thing.

Don't think so.
