If we're bikeshedding, I think both "expand" and "wildcard" are
misleading here. 😀 I think of "$HOME" -> "/home/larsi" as an
expansion. What this function does is search for files that match a
pattern.
So `file-find-<something>' would be natural, but we call visiting a file
`find-file', so that's confusing, too.
