Alternatively, we could just match prefixes i.e. assume everything ends in *. This would be easier to use and might make more sense than globs for this purpose, however, it is technically a breaking change.

I think I'm partial to having the same logic we use for selectors elsewhere -- so, e.g., DOC matches DOC123, DOC1, etc. (Prefixes rather than globs, per your comment.) In what sense is it a breaking change? It feels strictly more lenient, so it wouldn't introduce any new violations.

I think I prefer prefixes too. I wish I hadn't bothered implementing it this way first haha

Well we'll "no longer detect" unused noqa statements that would previously be have been raised, but no new violations is true. I think it's a breaking change in the most literal of senses, not something I'm worried about.
