I'm not sure what you are proposing. Adding a new filter to IO that
behaves like Ant? Adding a new filter to IO that behaves like Python?
Are Ant and Python expressions _exactly_ the same_? Even if they are
the same today, what happens when Python decides to change? I am
assuming Ant is in maintenance mode so won't change in this area.
Augmenting the current wildcard filter? How would this affect
compatibility?
