The question is whether you'd want that.
We had previously considered using fnmatch() for wildcard matching of
host names in certificates and ended up deciding against that. It would
be worth checking that old thread. It would also be good if the pgpass
wildcard matching were somehow consistent with certificates, since they
are both somewhat related security features.
