For consistency with the corresponding feature in the glob function since 
Python 3.5, I would suggest to add an extra optional argument 'recursive' 
instead of 'glob_asterisks'. With the default recursive=False, one gets the old 
behavior, with recursive=True, it can handle the '**' and '*' as in pywildcard.

I realize that with recursive=False, the behavior is not exactly consistent 
with glob, but  I'd still prefer the same name for the optional argument. It is 
the common terminology for this type of feature. See
