Hi,
What would the use case be for that?
A search path is usually just a sequence of file paths; wildcard
expansion is not includes.
Wildcards are significant only in shell contexts, though the expansion
is done by the shell on Unix and by the application on Windows; it
would add a fair bit of complexity.

Is the wildcard character allowed in the input?
I'm thinking of the wildcard support in classpath.

Please review the API and implementation of an API to parse Path strings.
Two methods are added to java.nio.file.Paths to parse a string using the path
separator delimiter
and return either List<String> or List<Path>. Empty path elements are ignored.
For compatibility with current URLClassPath behavior the internal
implementation handles
replacement of empty paths.
