What do you mean? #? is more general than *?, since # is actually a closure
operator (like * in regular expressions) not a wildcard. Now, "[]", "{,}",
and so on are more versatile than #?, but they can be added in (as they are
in Jeff Lydiatt's wildcard code... you know: the code you took out of my
file requestor).
