But the following is not:

IOW, '*' can only appear as a non-terminating symbol if it is bounded
by '/' on each side.

You have my criterion right, but I want that to be valid, but only match
things like "foo/bar-something/baz", not "foo/bar-a/b/baz".

Ah, that makes sense. Perhaps use "**" to mean matching across path
components which is what rsync does:

 o  a '*' matches any non-empty path component (it stops at slashes).
 o  use '**' to match anything, including slashes.
