I want to list all PDFs in the shell, ls -l *.pdf
I want a filter to keep all PDFs, --filter=+file:*.pdf
Note that "*.pdf" is not a valid regular expression even though it's what
most people will try naturally. Perl complains:
/*.pdf/: ?+*{} follows nothing in regexp
I predict that the vast majority of bug reports and support requests will be
for users who are trying a glob rather than a regular expression.
