Globbing problems

[mondeja]

From time to time, a bug raises in the building or linting process of the Simple Icons website.

After some debugging, I can see that it is caused by a system call which tries to get some information about a file in part of the tree that shouldn't be checked. Probably a race condition triggers it.

The problem radicates into the globwalk crate, which walkes irrelevant directories while matching globs. See Gilnaa/globwalk#31, which never have been merged. This crate is abandoned. In their README, they recommend the usage of the glob crate.

But the glob crate doesn't supports the curly braces pattern (see rust-lang/glob#2). That's the reason that lead me to implement globbing using globwalk.

And here we are. Globbing in Rust is still a pain. It would be really great to have the awesome Python's wcmatch library ported to Rust.
