Yes it does.
To be honest I wasn't happy about this little quirk when I coded the
whitelists support and with experience I would not do it again the same
way if I were starting from scratch. IIRC (I didn't look at SQLgrey code
for quite some time) this is needlessly linked to internal SQLgrey
structures involved in the whitelisting: regexp, globs and identity
matching are done separately for performance reasons. I think I should
have used a cleaner syntax and made the effort to translate it to the
internal structures instead of looking for a direct mapping.
As it didn't seem too bad and cleaner solutions would have broken
backward compatibility this was left like this (and the comment was
added to make sure people reading documentation like you were aware of it).

Best regards,

Lionel
