by the way ... I just put a patch into a repo and my documentation said
'the name is in glob format' and got dinged by some reviewers: "what is
glob"?
I blame our education system :-)

Why was it called glob? I always wondered.
Something about global expressions.
I recall reading about this somewhere; I tried looking in the man page:
http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V1/man/man7/glob.7
but it didn't go into any detail. I don't know where I could have seen it,
alas...
