Description
Today, TypeScript's globber uses a custom strategy that acts differently from other tools. This is an issue for 3rd party users who need to consume TypeScript's APIs, but need to validate that a file belongs to a compilation. #32564 dives into some of the discussion around this.
This API doesn't have to be the same as matchFiles - but it needs to compose well with the rest of our API.

Research direction
Start by reading the custom globbing strategy and the discussion in issue #32564, then compare their behavior with matchFiles. The issue is done when a public API exposes the TypeScript-specific globbing behavior and composes cleanly with the rest of the API; the required interface and acceptance details still need to be defined.
