I played around a bit, and I couldn't find a way to do full regex for
a glob() argument.

You can pick from a set of characters at a time:

'foo[0-9]bar' would match 'foo0bar', 'foo1bar', etc.

But nothing I found allows you to pick from a set of *substrings*,
which is what we'd need:

'foo(xyz|abc)bar' to match 'fooxyzbar' and 'fooabcbar' (but *not* say,
'foo123bar').

I tried parentheses, curly braces, with and without '\', with no success.

Not sure at this point there *is* a more eloquent way to express it
than what I sent you originally.

Learning Python *is* on my bucket list, just not right this minute... :)
