Similarly on the command-line: gvim foobar.* should ignore it
I believe the expansion will be done by command shell and doesn't know anything
about 'wildignore' so Vim will get just list of files.
Hm., yes, a Unix shell (*sh) would expand the wildcards but IIUC an MS-DOS
shell (COMMAND.COM, cmd.exe, ...) wouldn't. Maybe on Unix-like systems
'wildignore' files should be pruned from a list of files seen as command-line
arguments, provided that it doesn't make the list empty. I'm not sure though.
You could always invoke "vim foobar.\*" to force the shell to pass the
wildcard unexpanded IIUC.
