We do not have a hard requirement for wildcards (no use case
explicetliy mentiones them).  Several users/use cases did,
however, express the request for shell like file handling
semantics - that is where we took the wildcard requirement
from.

So, yes, dropping would actually be an option we should
consider, but it would be a pity IMHO.
