Wildstar  allows you to set whether DOS will allow '*' to mean '#?' or not.
It  is  OFF as default, for compatibility with old programs ONLY! ('*' used
to  mean  'stderr',  now  that  is  meant by 'CONSOLE:' - '*' is free to be
pattern matched.)

'*' is preferred to '#?', as it is used in unix :)

Usage:
Wildstar ON      will turn this feature on
Wildstar OFF     will turn this feature off
Wildstar TOGGLE  will change the current state of it

Wildstar will print out the current state if given no args.
Also, if it is ON, then Wildstar will return WARN ($RC=5).

Example:
1> list f*   lformat %n
object not found
1> list f#?  lformat %n
fart
fish
foo
1> wildstar
Recognition of '*' in pattern matching is currently OFF.
1> wildstar on
Recognition of '*' in pattern matching is currently ON.
1> list f*   lformat %n
fart
fish
foo
1> wildstar >nil:
1> echo $RC
5
1> wildstar off >nil:
1> echo $RC
0
1>

Requires 2.0 or better.
