See original GitHub issue

Characters like {, }, ,, !,[,] are valid file path names. To match path containing these special symbols, glob pattern need to support escape using \. In this case, \[ should match [ instead of throwing an error.

I just released a build that may help. It adds support for all characters that are not special to globbing syntax as part of issue #57

My plan is to add support for escaping characters by using \ which is currently used for a secondary path separator. Since this may break many existing glob expressions this will be part of a 2.0 release.
