match_glob

Whether text matches a simple glob pattern in full: * matches any sequence of characters (including none), ? exactly one character, everything else is literal.

It is not a shell glob: no [...] classes, {a,b} alternatives, escapes or path-aware **, just the two wildcards. Characters are Unicode scalar values (char), so ? matches a whole é or emoji. Matching is case-sensitive; lowercase both sides to ignore case. Runs in O(pattern × text) at worst, without recursion or a regex engine.
