But, unfortunately, very slow.

glob works on more than paths, though

Like what for example?

They probably mean fnmatch, which is what glob actually uses under the hood. That's indeed a useful module for simple wildcard filtering.

Exactly! I use fnmatch a lot to translate glob strings to regexes (in a VFX company, I'm a developer for a Houdini and in-house software pipeline).

Being able to provide solid globbing options to users in any scenario that is 'path-y' can provide massively more power to them, in lots of different cases I'd say.

My bad, I did mix it up with fnmatch.
