I like it.  fnmatch is one of those few methods whose documentation I have
to look up every time I use it.  And then it doesn't do what I want, so I
need to experiment with irb.

Your proposal seems a step in the right direction.  I'd like to see some
"real-world" examples, rather than the "a/b" stuff, though.

Cheers,
