Did we intend to have a `--build-patterns` option? It looks like we don’t: <https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.0/docs/reference-global>

I’m adding it. I could have sworn I’ve seen it before though

you can change the pattern to be something other than `[BUILD, BUILD.*]`

for example, you might want to call your BUILD files `PANTS_BUILD` to differentiate from Bazel build files

We have all the code for this, just didn’t wire it up

We have `--build-ignore`, and that could be used to shrink the default set (but not grow it)
