Filters

I recall a few years ago, like maybe back in the v4 days, Quade said something about an update where anywhere and everywhere a filter was being used it supported regular expressions. With this in mind, I have a question about the default filters shipped with program, i.e., "Global," "Pictures," "Multimedia," etc.
Are those regular expressions, too? They seem to be given the "[.]jpe?g" entry in the "Pictures" filter. But if so, aren't all the initial periods incorrect? Shouldn't it be "[\.]jpe?g", or is a special exception being made for file filters?
