This is one of those famous 3-line functions, though:
import fnmatch
def multifilter(names, *patterns):
result = []
for p in patterns:
result.extend(fnmatch.filter(names, p)
return result
It's a 3-line function in 5 lines, OK, but still.

If you're going to improve the glob module, why not use bash or zsh
extended globbing ('**', '{a,b}') as the model? This is more
powerful, and already familiar to many users.
