The lexer is overly permissive. When parsing file patterns in an input section description and there is a missing `)`, we would accept many non-sensible tokens (e.g. `}`) as patterns, leading to confusion, e.g. `*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.text*)) } PROVIDE_HIDDEN(__code_end = .)` (#81804). Ideally, the lexer should be stateful to report more errors like GNU ld and get rid of hacks like `ScriptLexer::maybeSplitExpr`, but that would require a large rewrite of the lexer. For now, just reject certain non-wildcard meta characters to detect common mistakes. Pull Request: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/84130
