To clarify, by wildcards, I really only mean "none or any match
anything, and pyX matches any of pyXY". So (for example) pip doesn't
need to say it supports cp37-none-win_amd64 because any wheel
declaring it's for cp37-none-win_amd64 will match pip's supported
tagset cp37-cp37m-win_amd64. But getting that sort of wildcard
matching to work with the priority ordering we want (py37>py3>py36,
for instance) is not straightforward, and I never thought it all
through.
