I don't think it checks anything but the last component. There's a PR
about this, really early on.

Try "*/foo". It works for me. (Unexpectedly, but it does.) And it
doesn't pick up "foobar", either.
I'd like to consider adding ^ and $ to the shell-style matching
algorithm, with their RE meaning IFF they're the first and last
characters respectively. This has occurred to me before, but I
don't think it's ever been mentioned publicly.

Now all I need is a shortcut for referring to file foo in the _current_
directory and only the current directory without putting the whole silly
path in. Grr.
Actually, it would be nice to be able to use something like a dbm file if
you wanted descriptions to be really useful. But no one does since they
aren't used much by most people.
Oh, and a magic way to extend the description length. <g>
