Sorry, I don't understand your "how do I use it" question. Do you 
want to match files irrespective of case? If so, I don't know of a 
way other than "*.[tT][xX][tT]". That's how "glob" works.

All I'm doing is filtering the output of 
filesystem::directory_iterator. Essentially, you're asking 
filesystem::directory_iterator to dereference to a (lowercase) 
filename which can then be matched against the regex, "*.txt", right?

Hmmmm. I'll add it to the list of things to think about.
