Why not? Seems "horribly inconsistent" to me to treat those cases
differently.
It seems entirely explainable to me to say that "if you specify
no pattern, the default behavior is to list all non-system functions".
Where the patch went wrong is in fooling with the behavior when a
pattern is specified.
