I agree.
Dump files are generally used for debugging.
I know i started using -fdump-tree-all the day the globbing died (sniffle 
sniffle :( ).

So i think what we do here should be whatever the consensus of the 
developers is.

So far we have Diego, Andrew, and I in favor of allowing globbing, and 
apparently Steven is against it.

Anyone else have an opinion one way or the other?
