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.
