+// glibc 2.24.90 glob(GLOB_NOMAGIC) does not remove backslashes used for escaping:
+// if you pass it "file\?", it returns "file\?", not "file?", if no match.
+// Which means you need to unescape the string, right? Not so fast:
+// if there _is_ a file named "file\?" (with backslash), it is returned
+// as "file\?" too (whichever pattern you used to find it, say, "file*").
+// You DONT KNOW by looking at the result whether you need to unescape it.
+//
+// Worse, globbing of "file\?" in a directory with two files, "file?" and "file\?",
+// returns "file\?" - which is WRONG: "file\?" pattern matches "file?" file.
+// Without GLOB_NOMAGIC, this works correctly ("file?" is returned as a match).
