This is not correct.  optional-* is used when the relevant standards have 
a specification for a symbol, but do not require it to be defined.  In 
this case, the standards do not have a specification for sun_len - they 
have a permission to define arbitrary sun_* symbols, for which "allow 
sun_*" is the appropriate representation.
