I must say I'm slightly dismayed by the less-than-enthusiastic response I have received - I've identified a problem, root-cause it and even offered to submit a fix - what exactly is the problem?
While I don't know about the ins-and-outs of globbing libraries (and, therefore, can't judge ease, etc)...
The whole "it's rare [and an obscure (imo) work around exists] so let's not worry about it" is a reason to reject a feature, NOT a bug fix.
As Alan already has done much and is prepared to do more of the work, I hope his patch is accepted.
