One thing I'd like to point out is that I often find I don't have the
right keyboard layout or am restricted in some way in from typing in the
bootloader (glitchy serial connection or really fast repeating keyboard
or something), so keeping the syntax brief and with as few non-
alphabetical
FWIW, various things I have modified can be seen here:

The userconf version present at the moment on the published branch, was
my first attempt (patterns introduced by slashes---working but not
solving the problem about drmkms).
There are other

You can also add, let's say, a `-g' group flag:

uc> list -g drmkms # list devices in group drmkms

Yep, but know you see what

This whole thing still makes no sense to me. You can do what you want
with userconf already and

You can allow escapes for those:

uc> disable

No...: this is a break of existing. Trailing `*' selects STARred devices
(I'm not the inventor of this). So `*' can not be used as a joker

Almost noone would need to turn off all drmkms drivers. What you may
want to control is that a GPU isn't used as a console. Disabling a driver
is just our crude workaround to achieve this.

Ah, since these are shell-like patterns there's not need for a `$' to
denote EOL. So:
