Is it possible to exclude all files by name with exclude_patterns?

[Max Ghenis]

I'm using jupyter-book's exclude_patterns config field (inherited from Sphinx) and am looking to exclude several files named README.md in different folders. I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that, and it's not one of the documented patterns. Here's what I've tried - any help appreciated. Thanks -- Max

1. *README* didn't exclude
2. README didn't exclude
3. **README.md** threw error "expected alphabetic or numeric character"
4. **README.md threw error (same)
5. **/README.md threw error (same)
6. **README.md* threw error (same)
7. */README.md threw error (same)

Filed in https://github.com/executablebooks/jupyter-book/issues/753 but coming to the source here instead.

This was because I wasn't quoting the pattern (others I've used haven't needed quotes). '**/README.md' worked.
