[issue44380] glob.glob handling of * (asterisk) wildcard is broken

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

Only pattern beginning with a dot can match filename beginning with a dot.

>From https://docs.python.org/3/library/glob.html

   Note that unlike fnmatch.fnmatch(), glob treats filenames beginning with a dot (.) as special cases.

This phrase was added in issue16695 in attempt to improve documentation, but it is still not clear.
