How to apply Format-specific settings only to files that match a specific filename (i.e. a specific file pattern)

Environment

Linux Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish), kernel 5.15.0-105-generic
as a single binary through :MasonInstall within neovim.
vale version 3.4.1

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

I have the following .vale.ini config file in the root of my repository:

StylesPath = styles
MinAlertLevel = suggestion
Packages = proselint, write-good, alex, Readability, Joblint
Vocab = Base

[*]
BasedOnStyles = Vale, proselint, write-good, alex, Readability, Joblint

[README.md]
proselint.Annotations = NO
write-good.E-Prime = NO

I'd like to ignore the two specific issues but only in the README.md located at the root of my project. However, the above .vale.ini config i.e. with the [README.md] section heading, does not achieve this and vale continues to flag these issues in README.md. When we change the section heading to [*.md] it works fine, but that's the behavior I desire. How can we fix this?

Do you see the same behavior when running Vale from the command line itself (i.e., not through neovim)?

I'm also interested in this feature. I could apply different rules on my changelog.md files

I would find this useful, especially if it could be directory-based too, such as

[sdk/*.md]

All of these cases should already be supported. As I mentioned in my comment above, my suspicion is that this issue is specific to neovim.

One thing to keep in mind is that it's likely editors are passing the absolute file path to Vale, meaning you may need to use a pattern like [**/README.md] or [**/sdk/*.md].
