`path.escapeGlob`

What is the problem this feature will solve?

Would allow to dynamically create glob patterns from arbitrary paths.

Example:

const pattern = `${path.escapeGlob(import.meta.dirname)}/*`;

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Something similar in functionality to this:

// Wraps symbols which open groups `{`, `[`, `(`, and
// those with semantics independent of groups `*`, `?`
path.escapeGlob = (x = "") => x.replace(/[*{[(?]/g, "[$&]");

And this:

// inverse path.escapeGlob
path.unescapeGlob = (x = "") => x.replace(/\[.\]/g, "$&");

I was using #58988 as a reference for special chars.

What alternatives have you considered?

Using a user land package everywhere dynamic glob creation is required, or even for everything glob related to keep things consistent.

Edit: Shortened regex replacement from (...) -> $1 to ... -> $&.

Inizia leggendo l’issue #58988 e la documentazione e i test esistenti della path API per comprendere i caratteri speciali e il comportamento della piattaforma già coperti. Confronta la semantica proposta per escaping e unescaping su percorsi arbitrari; il lavoro richiede un contratto API concordato con implementazione, test e documentazione corrispondenti.
