fnmatch.translate's docstraing says "There is no way to quote meta-characters.", but this is wrong. One can remove the special meaning of ``'?'``, ``'*'`` and ``'['`` by wrapping them between square brackets. Thus, ``'[?]'`` matches the literal character ``'?'``. There are a lot of related issues: issue8402, issue13929, issue9358, issue738389, issue738361, issue1580472, issue5852. |

I would use "It is possible to remove" rather than "One can remove", but otherwise the patch LGTM. |

Better (IMO): Wrap the meta-characters in brackets for a literal match. For example, ``'[?]'`` matches the character ``'?'``. |

My patch was only example. Commit what you feel is better. |

For a literal match, wrap the meta-characters in brackets. For example, ``'[?]'`` matches the character ``'?'``. Stating the goal at the beginning of the sentence will make this easier to find while skimming through the doc. |

Ezio, feel free to finalize this. For me all variants look good. |
