The acl.auth.php examples show "*" usage,
which appears to be analogous to simple Linux filename globbing.
Question: what is officially supported?
Single "*" only?
Globbing?
regex flavor?
What about something like "*:name:*" or ":*foo:" or ":bar*:", ... ?
Experimenting could reveal what the current implementation does,
but relying on undocumented implementation details is risky.
