In my unreleased completion code (which is behaves similarly to
partial-completion-mode as a first approximation), I can do:

  C-x C-f ~/toto/*.sas TAB

or even

  C-x C-f ~/toto/**/*.sas TAB

so as to look in subdirectories as well.  Sadly, it's not in a good shape
and will need a rewrite before it has a chance to making it into Emacs
(i.e. next century maybe).
