If `include_hidden` is true, the patterns '*', '?', '**' will match hidden directories.
Shouldn't this explain what a "hidden directory" is? For example, a Windows user may think this means a directory with FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN set, but that's not what's meant here. Also, I think it should note that enabling include_hidden negates the earlier claim that "files beginning with a dot (.) can only be matched by patterns that also start with a dot". For example, glob.glob('*', include_hidden=True) includes all of the conventionally hidden directories and hidden files in the current directory.
