…ythonGH-151479) Documents how PurePath.full_match() handles a pattern ending in /**: /a/** matches /a/b but not /a, because the separator before ** must be present in the path and PurePath drops trailing slashes. Adds two doctest examples under full_match() and a note at the ** entry of the pattern language list contrasting it with Path.glob(). --------- (cherry picked from commit 264860472c1ec9446974c6c235b26c1774cec75d) Co-authored-by: Harjoth Khara <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Terry J Reedy <[email protected]>
