I prefer plan C: leave it alone. It's working fine.

Pierre, your suggestion doesn't help clean up strings used inside of double
brackets. I wanted to avoid the need for multiple backslashes in an expression
as it makes the expression less readable and more error prone.

I use == to compare constant strings.
When you compare 'test' with t??t, the globbing operator has precedence and
attempts to match the string t??t against test. If it can match the glob
pattern against the intput 'test',
IT isn't the == operator that turns t??t into something that can match 'test'
It absolutely is. If you don't think so, you fundamentally misunderstand
its purpose and operation.

Then where is the operator when you take the same chararcters
