awkward syntax for localhost - 4 entries required, not just 2

Hi,
I like your tool, but find the syntax cumbersome. I am not sure what the usefulness is, of making * fail to match / or :, but it makes the process of writing simple patterns quite non-intuitive.
For localhost, not only do I need the two entries you mention in the help, but also:
*://localhost:*/* and
*://127.0.0.1:*/*
When a common case is so clumsy to represent, I have to question your choice of syntax. For example, if you need a way to match everything but / and : you could use an alternate character, or set the mode a la java.
Either that, or give us a character to match everything, including : and /
Or better yet, a standard 'localhost' match that would encompass all of the possibilities.
Thanks,
