Description

Some time ago, wildcard expansion was disabled in all of msys2's packages.
This was already discussed, and a PR was made to update the suggestion in the docs.
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/13096
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/pull/7919

After some internal discussion, it was decided to enable wildcard expansion for the GCC package through this PR.
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/23517

It might be a good idea to update your docs to reflect this change, again.
