Comment(by guest):

 Many of those restrictions seem reasonable. I think the only one I'd
 change is that *.ext means all files ending ".ext", not all files ending
 ".ext" that don't have a '.' in the filename. I understand the desire
 about foo.gz, but who would expect *.gz not to match foo.tar.gz? That
 seems completely counter intuitive.
