globstar option to make ** recursively match nested directories.

[shanewilson]

Hi - I was wondering if there were any plans to add support for globstar for nested directories?

Right now I can fake it by splitting the pattern on ** and mixing and matching pathname:true/false but it would be nice to have this built in.

The special pattern characters have the following meanings:

*
Matches any string, including the null string. When the globstar shell option is enabled, and '*' is used in a filename expansion context, two adjacent '*'s used as a single pattern will match all files and zero or more directories and subdirectories. If followed by a '/', two adjacent '*'s will match only directories and subdirectories.
