I think I'm looking at the same lists, and I see plenty of `.*` in the 
sanitizer exclusion lists. Also a few cases of `(abc|def|...)`. IIUC, those 
would both be broken by this -- instead of `.*` meaning "any character any 
number of times" (regex) it would mean "dot followed by any number of 
characters" (glob), right? And the `(abc|...)` would just be that literal text, 
not matching the individual parts?

If my understanding of that is correct, I don't think this is a good change -- 
there's possibly plenty of configs out there that assume this is regex, and 
there doesn't seem to be sufficient motivation to just break those. But I can 
see that globs are useful for the examples posted in the patch description. Is 
it possible to have some middle ground, e.g. default to regex but allow a 
config at the top of sanitizer lists to interpret future patterns as globs 
instead?
