$(wildcard ..)

At present, GNU make version 3.80 permits the use of colons in
filenames by escaping them:

  foo\:bar.txt:
        touch $@

However, if I use $(wildcard ..) to select a number of files from the
file system (one or more that include colons in their names), I get an
error from make about multiple targets in the make rule due to the
multiple colons.  Shouldn't $(wildcard ..) escape colons, too?

Thanks,
Ben
