If neither a <name-prefix> or a <hex-value> is provided,
025571

A default search (that is, a search with no options) and a <name-prefix>
025571
can mean two different things: (1) if <name-prefix> does not start with
025571
an underscore, find ASL operator names, or (2) if <name-prefix> does start
025571
with an underscore, find ASL predefined method names.
