Janne Jalkanen commented on JSPWIKI-291:
----------------------------------------
I think it would be dangerous to change the patterns in any public config files
or wikipages. It could have adverse effects which would be invisible to the
user. (For example, if someone had a pattern like "Bug*", it would mean
completely different things...)
However, it's probably not very complicated to make a Glob-to-Perl5 regexp
translator. I think that's how ORO handles them internally - and since it's
Apache code, we could easily lift that bit of code from it.
Globs are also useful because they are so much more user-friendly than Perl5
regexps. They're not as powerful, but they are much simpler to explain.

> This should be a relatively easy task, except when Glob patterns are being

> No particular release is targeted; whenever we got time. This would be a
> nice low-hanging fruit for someone to start contributing to JSPWiki with...
