Another option is to make clear in the docs that the command line does not accept regular expressions, but only literal module names, and raise an error if a non-importable name (for example with asterisks in it) is specified.

And while we are here: the docs show "error:::mymodule[.*]" which doesn't even make sense as a regex!
