I don't think ",r" complicates the command that much. Internally,
the only additional work for supporting both globs and regular

",r" is not requested. That's a straightforward transformation.
",r" makes it harder to input regexps, which are the whole point of
introducing --filter. Besides, having two different syntaxes for the
same switch, and for no good reason, is not really acceptable, even if
the implementation is straightforward.
i agree 100%. and don't forget that globs are already supported by
current filtering options.
