While this makes sense, as Stephen pointed out, neither Fedora nor Android will
be able to quickly enable this capability in reality. What do you think about
two alternative ideas for right things; just start to interpret wildcards
without introducing a new capability, or introducing a new syntax that does
wildcard full match such as `genfsconwildcard`?

I made a typo in my previous mail, but the rationale of supporting wildcards
without a new capability is that wildcard metacharacters have actually
backward compatibility in the field of genfs. Pseudo filesystems don't contain
"*" or "?" in file names, and supported non-pseudo filesystems, DOS and ISO
9660 doesn't allow these characters either.
