user somehow if a folder name looked more like a regexp than like a
filename.

        Why?  No offence, but people should just get it right.  Adding
        things like that just slows it down, makes it more complicated,
        etc.  And it would make the semantics really messy I would imagine.
        Possibly not even self consistent.

"Procmail: robust but not idiot-proof."

        It should not be.  It should do what you told it to do.
