--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
The approach in example 3 works fine:

> [djm at desktop ~]$ cat > /tmp/cfg
> Host a
>     User user_a
> Host b
>     User user_b 
> Host A
>     User specificusername
> Host *
>     User defaultusername
> [djm at desktop ~]$ ssh -F /tmp/cfg -G A | grep '^user '
> user specificusername
> [djm at desktop ~]$ ssh -F /tmp/cfg -G a | grep '^user '
> user user_a
> [djm at desktop ~]$ ssh -F /tmp/cfg -G xxx | grep '^user '
> user defaultusername

You can also use Match final if you prefer the list the defaults first,
though this will cause the config to be evaluated twice.

> [djm at desktop ~]$ cat > /tmp/cfg
> Match final
>     User defaultusername
> Host a
>     User user_a
> Host b
>     User user_b 
> Host A
>     User specificusername
> [djm at desktop ~]$ ssh -F /tmp/cfg -G A | grep '^user '
> user specificusername
> [djm at desktop ~]$ ssh -F /tmp/cfg -G a | grep '^user '
> user user_a
> [djm at desktop ~]$ ssh -F /tmp/cfg -G xxx | grep '^user '
> user defaultusername
