Subject: [ruby-core:77974] [Ruby trunk Feature#7360][Feedback] Adding	Pathname#glob

Issue #7360 has been updated by Akira Tanaka.

Status changed from Assigned to Feedback

It seems the proposed implementation treats the receiver as a glob pattern.

```
% ruby -rpathname -e '
class Pathname
  def glob(pattern, flags = 0, &b)
    Array(pattern).flat_map do |pat|
      self.class.glob(join(pat), flags, &b)
    end
  end
end
p Pathname("/b*").glob("i*") 
'
[#<Pathname:/boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64>, #<Pathname:/bin/ip>]
```

I think it is not intentional.

Feature #7360: Adding Pathname#glob
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7360#change-61308

* Author: Alexander E. Fischer
* Status: Feedback
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: Akira Tanaka
----------------------------------------
Currently there is only a Pathname.glob method, which allows you to find Pathname objects by a pattern including wildcard characters like '*'.

I would like to be able to use this relative to a current Pathname.

some_directory = Pathname.new('some_directory')
Pathname.glob(some_directory + 'a*')   # all children starting with "a"

could then simply be:

some_directory.glob('a*')   # all children starting with "a"

If you like the idea, please let me know. I will provide a patch then.
