Ah those examples _were_ with quoted *, i.e. have bzr
interpret the * not the shell, and have bzr take * to
have the special meaning of add everything that was not ignored.

Hence Jan's question.

IF (and that's a big if) we took this magic meaning of *,
then the user could add a file called * with, say, bzr add './*'.

Still, perhaps too much magic, and the problem looks handled
by bzr add . apparently.
