Hrm. Do you have any better suggestions? There just aren't that many
plausible pattern matching syntaxes out there, AFAIK...
I don't tend to run into it, because I tend to use things like
net.venge.monotone*
which my shell passes through unchanged (standard though possibly
surprising posix sh behavior for globs that don't match any files).
Also because I almost always use the defaults :-).
But if this is a problem, we should try to fix it, if possible...
