But it would be harder to remember when what you want is "glob" :-)

Why not just {Dir,File}.quote or .escape, to match Regexp.quote/escape? I would vote for File.escape, a method that escapes any file path to make it suitable for globbing.

This is inspired by https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/6010.

Basically, if you do a Dir.glob in a directory whose name contains a glob character, things break. It would be nice to have a method which would escape the input so that we can Dir.glob inside of those directories.
