Bug Description
Add the possibility to use wildcards when specifying flags.
Examples:
smart flag --set lock kernel-*
smart flag --set lock kde?-filelight
The idea came from using the zypper command on suse:
~>zypper help addlock
addlock (al) [options] <packagename> ...
Add a package lock. Specify packages to lock by exact name or by a glob pattern using '*' and '?' wildcard characters.

Would those wildcard sapply a) at the command time when setting the flag or b) when matching the flag against packages later ?
