No, we don't support globbing in these options. Question to the list- does it make sense to do so?
Yes, but it would also be nice to support recursion here as well. For instance:
NoExtract = /usr/share/doc/*
should disable ALL doc extraction, no matter how deep it's nested
Recursion is a good idea but that's not what is usually expected from *. I would suggest to use ** like in ZSH if it is implemented. Real regular expressions support would solve all those problems but that's probably overkill.
Well, ** isn't valid in standard POSIX globbing and require additional coding to make it happen
