It does warn you, as most people probably don't mean to clobbering existing extensions, but it doesn't stop you. I wouldn't use the feature either, as if you are clobbering exten => ...,n,... rules, the behavior is unpredictable -- but I thought I'd note that it was possible.
Do you have an example of what you mean by wildcard matching? I don't see how the behavior would be different.
