[TYPO3-dev] RFC: Make t3lib_div::inList() accept * wildcard

Done that way it is useless. The whole point is that everywhere where 
t3lib_div::inList() is called currently, one could pass * as a reference 
string and get a return value of true.

Your suggestion means that everywhere where you want to be able to use * 
you have to change the calls to inList() to some other method. This 
would imply a *LOT* of changes (both to core and who knows how many 
extensions).

As far as resources are concerned, of course it would take a bit more 
resources, but it's only a simple test.

Cheers
