[OE-core] "${bindir}" versus "${bindir}/*" ??

[Robert P. J. Day]

  in bitbake.conf, numerous variables like "FILES_${PN}" are
initialized with a combination of directory variables, with two
different forms:

  * ${bindir}
  * ${bindir}/*

is there a functional difference between those two?  my wildly
speculative guess is that if "*" works as it does in the shell, it
would simply skip any hidden objects.  is that the difference?  since
i don't see that clarified anywhere.
