Hi, I always thought that the arguments to Dir.glob(...) and File.fnmatch(...) are the same. However, with the first I can use braces, with File.fnmatch not! irb(main):001:0> Dir['*'] => ["src", "plugin"] irb(main):002:0> Dir.glob('s{rc}') => ["src"] irb(main):003:0> File.fnmatch('s{rc}','src') => false Is it somehow possible to use braces with File.fnmatch(...)?
