There is much more you cannot do with PathMatchSpec. Like pattern syntax
is much more expressive. Eg. think of "[m,n]xyz" etc.

PathMatchSpec sticks to a special interpretation of patterns suitable
for (DOS) file system items. Like does not prejudge. It does pattern
matching on sequences of characters. Nothing more, nothing less.
