> I have to say that the non-obvious subtleties you point out in your rglob make me think I personally would probably opt to use Nick's module directly instead, so that I was sure what I was getting.

I didn't notice these corner cases initially because of their distance from the main use case. The main use-case is to glob the current directory or an absolute path tree using a wildcard, esp for finding all files of a given type. This leaves no ambiguity.

I'd like the edge cases of relative paths to behave in a documented and sensible way, but they pale in comparison to the usefulness of the proposal imho.

I believe we should decide what's the most useful and sensible behavior and have a shortcut for that.
