PathGlob tests whether a file path matches a glob pattern, without touching
the filesystem. It has the same semantics as Path.wildcard/2.
Path.wildcard/2 allows you to find all paths that match a certain glob
pattern. If you only want to know whether a particular path matches a glob,
then Path.wildcard/2 can be slow (depending on the glob), because it needs to
traverse the filesystem.
PathGlob provides a PathGlob.match?/3 function to check a path against a
glob without touching the filesystem. Internally, the glob pattern is compiled
to a Regex and then checked via String.match?/2. If you want to compile the
glob pattern ahead-of-time, you can use PathGlob.compile/2.
