Details:

The function “wildcard”
<https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/File-Name-Functions.html#index-wildcard-2>
is supported by the make software.
Corresponding file patterns work also in combination with directory names.
Such combinations are occasionally useful. The query result will contain them
as usual.

I came along the need to query a single folder without changing the working
directory
<https://github.com/elfring/Coccinelle-20160205/blob/replace_suffix_rules_by_pattern_rules1/modules_without_mli.make#L7>
so that only file names (without folder names) will be in the result.
Can another software extension become useful for the function library to make
such data processing more efficient?
