I don't think it works. Though not mentioning anything about
wildcards, this is what the documentation states:
   Note that path preferences are interpreted literally—they are not
   regular expressions.

Interestingly, there _is_ code to expand path values in form of
"dir/*" but not in form of "dir*". I don't know why that is and
whether making the latter form work would cause any issues.
