How to trigger a Chrome extension, content-script for a given hash in the URL?

Question

My matches scheme:

\"content_scripts\" : [
 {
   \"matches\" : [
     \"https://stackoverflow.com/questions#epic*\"
   ],
   \"js\" : [\"silly.js\"]
 }
],

See Content scripts, Match Patterns.
Match patterns do not operate on the fragment portion of a URL.

To restrict a content script to a given hash, use the include_globs and/or exclude_globs properties.

For example, in this case you might use:

"content_scripts" :     [ {
    "matches" :         [
        "*://stackoverflow.com/questions/*"
    ],
    "include_globs" :   ["*#epic*"],
    "js" :              ["silly.js"]
} ],
