im unsure of this one for now

glob is still a fairly useful package, though it could be good to list the alternatives somewhere still

i wonder if for glob, we add the docs for alternatives but we don't yet add it to the preferred manifest. maybe it belongs in some other manifest in future for "lighter dependencies" or something (as the packages being replaced are not necessarily "bad", we just want to make alternatives known)

Different glob libraries do have slightly different functionality. new fdir().glob() which I linked in the example does do globbing. Any differences I'm aware of are pretty minimal, but it would be nice to highlight if there are major differences

I think fdir's behavior around directories is different enough to highlight. new fdir().glob() isn't equivalent to glob because it doesn't include directories by default, and doesn't match directory paths unless they end in a trailing slash.
