I think wild cards would be extremely useful, but you're right, it can't be
required for common cases. Maybe "-t schema." could be shorthand for "-t
schema.*".
As far as the comma-seperated-list notion, I could take it or leave it. But
it absolutely does not require quoting unless you add superfluous
whitespace. That's just common, basic shell usage.
