IMO, fnmatch is the right place for such an enhancement. (and, as the doc states, “glob uses fnmatch() to match pathname segments”).

This is a good reason not to push the implementation down into glob, actually: the expansion may cross segment boundaries: for{bar/turtle,car/monkey}_test.* should expand to the two patterns: foobar/turtle_test.* foocar/monkey_test.*   -Fred -- Fred L.
