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.
