I'd say it is a bug. I fixed a bug in there recently and I couldn't find any
proper docs describing how it is supposed to work and I took an easy route and
made a decision. I suppose it should work like the fnmatch() function -
although I couldn't really find any good docs for that pattern either.

This is a function that seems to be virtually unused...
