None of that really depends on the difference between ‘glob’ versus
‘fnmatch’. Either of them could be at the bowels of an implementation of
the behaviour you describe.

You don't. Those two are *much* lower level than the behaviour you
describe, and don't have anything to say about that behaviour.

You will need all the extra framework implementing all the other stuff
you describe, before you make any decision between ‘fnmatch’ versus
‘glob’.
