Hmmm... the \* method is more likely to work on a non-regular expression
environment (glob and substr match) if someone tries to copy the
technique.  I'm not enthusiastic about using a regular expression here,
especially as what we have seems to work.

In the past, I advocated changing the "*" default to "x" as that would
be much easier for users, but it's probably a bad idea to ever change
that.

Side note: I would favor reducing the number of stars from 15 to 10.
