The point was that in any case it was not doing what was wanted nor 
expected, and an extra set of brackets [[:punct:]] are needed to 
search for punctuation.

Not sure what if anything glob does with double brackets - anything 
I tried with ls always returned the search string e.g. 

$ ls /etc/setup/[[a-z]]*
ls: cannot access '/etc/setup/[[a-z]]*': No such file or directory

It does not seem to have any support for accented character classes 
or the ilk e.g. re [[:a:][:e:][:i:][:o:][:u:]] which could be useful 
searching for UTF-8 filenames.

Always a concern for conscientious scripters and especially on Windows 
where characters which may rarely be encountered on Unix systems are 
often lurking to catch unwary scripters.
