Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying.

What I was suggesting was basically:

1. Add an additional type, for use in the "type" field of
"struct Option", e.g. TYPE_FILENAME.

2. If an option had:

	opt->type == TYPE_FILENAME && opt->multiple

then G_parser() would do glob expansion, so in Hamish' example, using:

	input=insitu_data.*

would have the same result as:

	input=insitu_data.001,insitu_data.002,...,insitu_data.052
