I suspect this is system dependent. Some systems match wildcards in some sort
of sorted order, but most probably just go by the order the files are
physically listed in the disk directory.

It should be possible to implement it, but will require a significant
investment of coding and testing time to ensure that it works on all of the
platforms and compilers MakeNL currently supports.

I don't see a compelling reason to not include it. After all, if those
keywords are not used, the program continues to work exactly as it currently
does.
