If you call I, the result is NOT I<0> as this does not match the regex given as accept pattern! The request is therefore resend to nodes.conn1.test3 which is revolved to another connector call. In case the result of this connector does also not match the pattern (or is empty), the same request is send to nodes.conn2.test3. For the scalar I call, the value given to accept is evaluated as a case-sensitive regex pattern using qr// internally. If you set accept to the empty string, any defined value is accepted. For I, an empty value for accept will let the empty hash pass, if accept is set to any true value, only non-empty hashes are accepted. For I, accept is ignored and only non-empty lists are accepted.
