I've heard of developers who are using the non-array DOCS syntax just because of filename pattern expansion. I think we should slowly consider deprecating the non-array syntax in the new EAPI and therefore add pattern support to the list syntax, e.g.:

  DOCS=( 'README*' 'ChangeLog*' )

Oh, my bad.
