This use case will be resolved by #71

I don't believe that the expected behavior is a value with exists = false. Nothing is actually the correct behavior. Why? Because a listen on a key pattern (containing wildcards) cannot give a value with exists = false for every potentially matching key. Listen on concrete keys should not behave differently than listens on key patterns.

Closing this as this it not the functionality we want. Please see #71 for an alternative way of getting this data.
