Dir.glob and File.fnmatch don't seeing eye to eye

What does File.fnmatch? not support {p,q} style selectors?

I've run in to a situation where on one hand I need to use a glob
against the file system and on another I need to use the same glob
against an Array of file paths. B/c of this issue I can't find any
what to do it.

I'd say: open a feature request in redmine.

Kind regards

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)
