Ned Batchelder <n...@nedbatchelder.com> added the comment:

Another option is to make clear in the docs that the command line does not 
accept regular expressions, but only literal module names, and raise an error 
if a non-importable name (for example with asterisks in it) is specified.

And while we are here: the docs show "error:::mymodule[.*]" which doesn't even 
make sense as a regex!
