Hmm… looking at Sean’s PR I see down further there is this: If no filterPattern type is specified, the filterPattern is handled as a wildcard. So all the info is there and interestingly I missed it myself. Sean’s PR does move the regex info I quoted above next to it which is good as currently one might ignore the rest once you hit the wildcard pattern description thinking it is no longer relevant to regex. I have suggested Sean also highlight that line by making it a block quoted note.
