I think it's wrong in the docs. From looking at the code, that flag applies to all patterns, not just to `**`. (and "hidden" just means "begins with a dot")

Just spotted that 3.11 adds an include_hidden.  At the moment a little
confused because there's an apparent mismatch between docstring and docs.

Lib/glob.py:

     If `include_hidden` is true, the patterns '*', '?', '**'  will
match hidden
     directories.


Doc/library/glob.rst:

    If *include_hidden* is true, "``**``" pattern will match hidden
directories.

,,, with no mention of the other patterns.

Is that just an omission in the rst doc?
