match:    fn(pat, name: string): int;

The asterisk * matches a string of zero or more characters.

The query ? matches any single character.

The notation [s], where s is a non-empty string, matches any single character in s. A range of characters can be expressed by a string s of the form c_start-c_end. The notation [^s], where s is a non-empty string, matches any single character not in s. The characters *, ?, and [ lose their special meaning if they occur in s.

If any character is preceded by the character \, that character loses any special meaning and is interpreted literally.
