I thought about this for a while.  I considered adding a "glob" flag
similar to noauto that would have to be present in order to do
wilcarding.  I decided not to do it, and force all wilcarded entries to
be noauto.

If the "user" flag is omitted, then users will not be able to mount
those file systems.

Yes.

At this point, no.  Wildcard expansion will not be done for -a.  Such
mounts will fail.
