Sorry, I was unclear. I want *shell* wildcards to fail, e.g.
 pkg_info -e lib*

 pkg_info -e lib\*
 OK, makes sense - though thats more an artifact of where the
 user is (/var/db/pkg would be a notable exception :)
 What did you think of allowing multiple arguments via
 'pkg_info -e xtrans xsnow'
You can't distinguish that from a shell having expanded a wildcard.
That's why I suggested to "fix" the option handling so that -e pattern
can be given more than once.
 I can understand that, though potentially that same issue
 applies to just straight pkg_info or pkg_delete, so POLS
 would probably suggest pkg_info -e just takes multiple
 arguments in a similar fashion.
 But if I'm not writing the code I'm not going to complain
 either way :)
