> Glob patterns are not regular expressions. Both are well-defined and
> universally understood concepts. The term "regular expression" is misapplied
> here.
> The method name "globStatus" indicates that pathPattern should be a glob, but
> the javadoc says pathPattern is a regular expression. The documentation goes
> on to describe the accepted format of pathPattern and clearly describes globs.
> The term "regular expression" should not be associated with pathPattern.
