Hi,
This idea was already proposed as part of a larger PEP: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0471/#wildcard-support
Not the same idea, really. The _main_ thrust of this idea is to have a way to have a single function (OS-specific algorithms or otherwise) which acts (roughly) like itertools.chain(map(glob,lst)) on windows and simply uses the original list unmodified on unix, and to use this in places like fileinput. The point is that command line argument wildcard processing belongs in a different place on each platform. The windows-specific matching algorithm is just an aside.
