 > > The bug is this: I thought that saying that DependencyViolation
 applied to `*` would make it apply to all files -- but practracker doesn't
 support that.  I had to say instead that it applies to `*.h` and `*.c`.
 > I still didn't understand this description, so I looked into
 `practracker.py` and `problem.py`. I'm guessing that `ProblemFilter` needs
 to have its filename patterns be unambiguously denoting either `.c` or
 `.h` files. It looks like `Item.get_file_type()` determines this based on
 the suffix (`.c` or `.h`) of the file or pattern, defaulting to `*.c`. So
 maybe a pattern of `*` would match `*.c` files but not `*.h` files? Does
 this sound like an accurate description of the bug?

 That's right -- the Item.get_file_type() function converts `*` to `*.c`,
 so that it will match .c files, but not .h files.
