Sure,  I have configurable selection using a glob. On one hand I use
the glob to select files from current project, then for a history I
use the glob to select files from SCM (git) commits listings.

Here's the program: http://github.com.rubyworks/locat. Code's pretty
rough at this point but functional, I'll spend tomorrow refactoring.

To work around the problem I just settled on using #fnmatch in both
cases (not as versatile and a bit slower, but ok)
