## glob_match
glob_match(expr, path, match_path_separator)
Test if the passed path matches the glob expression.
`*` A single asterisk stands for zero or more arbitrary characters except for the the path separator `/` if `match_path_separator` is False
`?` The question mark stands for exactly one character except for the the path separator `/` if `match_path_separator` is False
`**` A double asterisk stands for an arbitrary sequence of 0 or more characters. It is only allowed when preceded by either the beginning of the string or a slash. Likewise it must be followed by a slash or the end of the pattern.
