Indeed! Excellent point :-).  I definitely should not post untested code
from my tablet.

This is still slightly less horrible, but I recognize it's starting to
border on horrible:

    {n for p in patterns for n in fnmatch.filter(names, p)}

This seems worse:

    set(chain(*(fnmatch.filter(names, p) for p in patterns)))
