There is a third option which I recommend. 3. .NET Framework implements the wildcard expansion. And this works. The Mono corlib implementation simply calls the underlying OS (unix or windows) API for wildcards. We use AOT to redirect the API call to our own methods in Korlib. As for the globbing scheme, I think we follow the Linux method, since it is simpler and cleaner. However, with one major caveat: we support case-insensitive file systems, like FAT/NTFS, especially since FAT is commonly used on USB devices for the foreseeable future.
