Accepting a glob isn't hard when you're using regexps to write the glob.  :-)

I've added

    [  ]  -  !  ^

as acceptable characters, and that's letting me do quite a bit.

Globbing in the sense of filename generation -- all that fnmatch is
supposed to do -- is pretty simple.  Most of the complicated things like
brace expansion are actually extensions.  POSIX only specifies '!' as the
exception character inside a bracketed list; bash (and libiberty's fnmatch,
and my patch) also recognizes '^' for people who are used to regexps.
