As for the implementation, it is quite easy to textually convert a glob
pattern, including "**" parts, into a regexp.

Or we could introduce regexp syntax as an alternative and let users
choose (and pay associated price).

It seems like overkill to me.  For filenames, globs are usually adequate.

quoted

_filename_char_pattern = r'[^/]'
_glob_patterns = [
    ('?', _filename_char_pattern),
    ('/**', r'(/.+)?'),
    ('**/', r'(.+/)?'),
    ('*', _filename_char_pattern + r'*'),
    ]

I don't fully understand the rest (never been a big fan of python) but
what about bracket expressions like [!abc] and [:alnum:]?

You're right; I forgot that the code that I posted doesn't support brackets.
