This is probably a useful improvement.

Having said that, when I mentioned "glob", I meant to also support
something like this:

The problem with additional extended syntax like proposed by you
is that we would indeed need an escaping mechanism here.

just a simple wildcarding with '*' would be a good first step that
is easy to explain and later extend as needed.

Thanks.
