no; if it were, the manpage would have read regex, not glob.  regex would
be useful; though i'm not sure how to implement it, since glob and regex
are not complatible.  perhaps a global knob in cloginrc that switches the
format to regex?  or an regex-specific version of the 'add' function and
search regexes before globs?

Per Olaf, ideas?
