I agree that whitespaces in the beginning or end of filenames is an edge case.

My only concern is that I don't think this feature adds to the current functionality. I don't think `[ *.c ]` would be considerably more readable than `[*.c]` though I think it may be less clear for a new user who has seen other INI files before.
