I'm really hesitant to pursue this route and break people's existing
setups, especially if the only benefit this patch tries to achieve is to
allow somebody to say:

    "Program Files/*.txt" ...some attr...

It is not worth the effort, risk and headache, especially because people
with such paths are probably already using

    Program?Files/*.txt	...some attr..

to match them.
