[New-bugs-announce] [issue34731] pathlib path.match misshandles multiple `**`

[Ronny Pfannschmidt]

New submission from Ronny Pfannschmidt <bugs.python.org at ronnypfannschmidt.de>:

when porting parts of pytest to pathlib we noted that `path.match` does not quite match normal fnmatch for usages of `**`

i believe this is related to always splitting the patter completely and not handling `**` in that case
