Yeah, we might want to update that. Wildmatch is basically fnmatch()
compatible, but it understands "**" (which I _think_ is the reason we
picked it up in the first place). I think we dropped it into place by
default because "**" is otherwise meaningless for fnmatch.

I don't think there are any other differences between the two, but Duy
probably knows offhand.

It looks like we mention fnmatch() in a few places in the documentation,
and AFAIK each of these is now outdated.
