Possibly wrongly, I judge glob by things like how

John "Iron bar" Mackin (may he rest in peace) wrote a shell script
"mved"
that implemented PIP-like globs along the lines of "mved =.foo =.bar". I
still have it somewhere, but it probably needs some work on it now; it was
really handy for things like "mved =.c =c.old".
