On another topic....

I seem to recall a boost::filesystem 'is_equivalent_name()' or 
'name_equals()' convenience function mentioned sometime over the last 
week or so.  There's  currently a fair bit of debate over character 
codings, etc.; this function would handle that.

AFAIK, these issues have (to date) been outside the scope of the 
globber.

As they get settled out, this service should be utilized in the glob 
predicate.  My main concern would relate to performance--especially 
regarding the frequency of constructing parsers.
