   > Good catch, I hadn't thought to this use case but if that would be 
supported then `a*c` would be more specific of `a*`
   
   What about multiple `*` characters? For example, would `a*c*` match `abcd` 
and `ac` and `abc`?
   
   > This is an important point from the development point of view, are you 
thinking to any specific cases?
   
   I'm not thinking about any specific case. I'm mainly thinking that the 
possible combinations that need to be tested will increase substantially with 
this change, especially if multiple `*` characters are supported.
   
   This change will mean that while `*` by itself still means **a single word** 
when `*` is combined with other characters it will completely change its 
meaning to **zero or more characters**. I think this will ultimately hurt 
usability.
