It’s been looked into. The problem with it in an rdcatch(1) context is: what to
do if the wildcard matches *multiple* remote files? (Multiple matches are not
only possible, but rather likely in many contexts.)
The bottom line is that putting arbitrary strings into the file names is a
really Bad Idea on the part of the program supplier. It makes downloads
effectively impossible to ingest with any kind of reliability.
