[Python-ideas] find-like functionality in pathlib

[Sven R. Kunze]

Don't get me wrong but either glob('**/*') and rglob('*') sounds quite 
cryptic. Furthermore, globbing always sounds slow to me.

Is it fast?
And is there some way to leave out the '*' (three special characters for 
plain ol'everything)?
And how can I walk directories only and files only?
