+It appears that this is because the FindFirstFile method in
+mono/mono/io-layer/io.c uses the glob(7) function to parse the
+pattern.  glob accepts three wild cards *, ?, and brackets (character
+classes).  It's unclear what the desired functionality of pattern
+matching should be.  If it is to correspond to Win32 pattern matching,
+then all brackets should be escaped.  Otherwise, the behavior is
+correct, and it's up to the user to do her own escaping.
