Sorry, I hit "send" too early; my answer is missing the last part.

This is possible (well, sort of) enabling the "extglob" option in
bash. But still, this is not directly related to whether "*" expansion 
includes names starting with "." or not.
Getting all the files, including those starting with "." (but 
excluding "." and "..") using standard bash is not really easy; an 
approximation could be taking the files matching "*", ".[^.]*", 
and "..[^$]*". These patterns still expand to their literal values if no 
files match, so at least the "nullglob" option would be useful to avoid 
error messages.
