Shows improper interpretation of wildcard in SUMIF criteria.

This attachment is an expansion of Marco A's example spreadsheet submitted for
35636. HOWEVER, based on this:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Calc_Guide/Using_regular_expressions_in_functions

I cannot yet say whether this is a bug or not, because it appears that
LibreOffice Calc uses wildcards in SUMIF, COUNTIF, MATCH, SEARCH, LOOKUP,
HLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, DCOUNT, DCOUNTA, DSUM, DPRODUCT, DMAX, DMIN, DAVERAGE,
DSTDEV, DSTDEVP, DVAR, DVARP, DGET in a way that is so cumbersome that it will
take me time I don't have right now to figure it out. What I do note is that
the wildcard "*" doesn't appear to do anything in SUMIF unless Tools > Options
> LibreOffice Calc > Calculate > 
Search criteria = and <> must apply to whole cells
...AND...
Enable regular expressions in formulas
...are checked; and if both are checked, the wildcard is not interpreted
properly (as illustrated in the attached spreadsheet. When I get time to play
with this in a daily build of LO Calc, I'll post more.
