        Fair enough. The idea behind * was to provide a simple 'use-every-variable-here'-option, but you are right, this led to a rather inconsistent behaviour. Currently there is exactly one option to use a shell-like wildcard, wheras all other possibilities require 'proper' regexes. As I don't think it is worth the hassle to implement proper wildcards (the regex stuff can be delegated to pandas without further ado), I think we should discard the * -only option.
