--------------------------------------------------------------
While you're probably right that using "*?" in a wildcard expression should
work as you expect - it would be difficult to fix wildcardMatch() to cater for
this.
Using {code}"?*"{code} effectively means the same thing - unfortunately this
does not work either - but its much easier to fix. Also in my mind its more
precise. For example an expression like {code}"aa?*"{code} always means "any
character in the third position" for the "?" wildcard.

> This wildcard pattern "*?" does not match correctly. The command:
> System.out.println(FilenameUtils.wildcardMatch("aaa", "*?"));
> prints out "false", even though it matches. The wildcard mask is a bit
> unusal, but not incorrect. It should match any input with at least one
> character.
