   This takes advantage of the current wildcard restriction: the asterisk can 
only appear once in the name, at the end of the string -an asterisk is thus a 
string terminator.  This means that the exclusions in the name actually don't 
need a comma either!  The internal event name for 'a*' --exclude 'ac*,ad*' 
could thus be:

'a*ac*ad*'

   If we used this format, this restriction on comma use would be dropped.
