Maybe your version should be called crippled_glob.
Globbing has a long history, longer than many of the people who use it.
See <http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/glob.7.html>.

In their simplest form, the brackets match alternatives. For example,
file[1234].text matches file1.text, file2.text, file3.text, and
file4.text, but not file_something_else.text.
