[issue8402] glob returns empty list with "[" character in the folder name

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

The documentation for fnmatch.translate, which is what ultimately gets called, says:
   There is no way to quote meta-characters.
Sorry.

If you want to see this changed, you could open a feature request. If you have a patch, that would help!

You probably want to research what the Unix shells use for escaping globs.
