Drat, I was hoping nobody was using it that way. :)

Yes, I think it would be possible to do something like:

  if: |
    (vars.CI_BRANCHES == '' || contains(vars.CI_BRANCHES, github.ref_name)) &&
    !contains(vars.CI_BRANCHES_REJECT, github.ref_name)

It doesn't allow globbing, though. Do you need that?
