Maybe I'm on the wrong track (definitely possible as I am a
scripting/tooling amateur), but I thought identifiers option takes a
list of functions or types and not filenames?

In case the filename-glob matching is this what I would call wildcard
matching, then I would propose to enable this for the existing
option. In case regexes are required as well, maybe another option like
'[no-]identifiers-regex' could be introduced.
