I had to laugh a bit, thank you for that :)
But ok, without looking at the code hard, I conclude that a file/path
is passed in as opaque string, and matched against the glob. So '*'
will cross directory-boundaries ('/') in the file-/path-name.
I'm not sure what would happen for multiple '*' in a glob-string, but
I think there are no use-cases for that, at least not here.

Right. I just tried that here; in my head it should work, and indeed
it does (i.e. files in 'temp' are ignored for e.g. the 'extra'
command).
Thanks for the clue,
Michai
