i would also like to see W and R options that behave as they do with $hfind() :P

also, here's a small snippet i had lying around that accurately generates a regular expression (which isn't always efficient!) from a wildmatch:

Code:
alias wmcs2re return $+(/(*UTF8)^\Q, $regsubex($replacecs($1, \E, \E\\E\Q, *, \E.*\Q, ?, \E.\Q), /&(?= |$)/g, \E[^ ]+\Q), \E$/s)


$wmcs2re(a ? b & *c*) = /(*UTF8)^\Qa \E.\Q b \E[^ ]+\Q \E.*\Qc\E.*\Q\E$/s

hopefully it covers all bases. argv's method of escaping meta-characters generally yields shorter and more readable expressions, but i probably made it the above way to avoid having to list them all ;D
