`**` not permitted as a pathname `:name`

Paths like #p"/foo/bar/**.json" bring up the debugger, citing:

:WILD-INFERIORS is not a valid pathname-NAME component

which is technically spec conformant according to: https://cl-community-spec.github.io/pages/Restrictions-on-Examining-a-Pathname-Name-Component.html

However, as a matter of interacting with modern OSs:

sbcl stores ** as sb-impl::pattern<...>.
abcl and ccl store ** as a string, as-is.

Could ECL be extended to support ** in :name position?

Note also that this means #p"**", semantically "all files", cannot currently be constructed.
