I think it's a bug in the docs, but that's just my gut feeling. It might
have been supported in the past, but as far as I see from the code, it's
not a supported syntax in 3.3.

http://git.balabit.hu/?p=czanik/syslog-ng-patterndb.git;a=summary is the
newest, I believe. But there are probably a lot of patterns scattered
around in the mailing list archives, and in various software built that
use syslog-ng under the hood.
