Whoops, I just realized that I combined two ways of doing a recursive glob
here. It should be either rglob('*') or plain glob('**/*'). What I wrote
produces identical results, but at the cost of a lot of caching. :-)

Note that the PEP doesn't mention rglob() -- why do we even have it? It
seems rglob(pat) is exactly the same as glob('**/' + path) (assuming os.sep
is '/'). No TOOWTDI here?
