[issue39856] glob : some 'unix style' glob items are not supported

[Je GeVa]

New submission from Je GeVa <jejeva.bxl at gmail.com>:

some common Unix style pathname pattern expansions are not supported :

~/ for $HOME
~user/ for $HOME of user
{1,abc,999} for enumeration

ex:

lets say
$ls ~
hello1.a hello2.a helli3.c

then :
$echo ~/hell*{1,3}.*
hello1.a helli3.c

while
>> glob.glob("~/hel*")
[]
>> glob.glob("/home/jegeva/hel*")
['hello1.a','hello2.a','helli3.c
>> glob.glob("/home/jegeva/hell*{1,3}.*")
[]
