                          I have a number of entries in ~/.ssh/config:

    Host github.com
      Hostname github.com
      User git
      IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github
    
    Host mydomain.com
      User name
      IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
    
    Host full.name@work.com
      Hostname work.com
      User full.name
      IdentityFile ~/.ssh/work_rsa

If none match, the default fallback is id_rsa. But I'd like a different fallback. The following attempt failed, because it catches everything, overriding any previous settings.

    Host '*'
      IdentityFile ~/.ssh/fallback

What is the correct way to express "none of the above"?
