## Syntax

Syntax is inspired by [standard wildcards](http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/x11655.htm),
except that `**` is aka super-asterisk, that do not sensitive for separators.
Syntax is inspired by [standard wildcards](http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/x11655.htm).

Note that the behaviour of `**` is different from typical glob implementations. It does not have the special behaviour of things like the `ls` terminal command. In tools like `ls`, a double-asterisk matches _zero or more directories deep_, in this library it matches _1+ directories deep_.
