a '/' in the pattern could be incorrectly matched against the
terminating null byte in the string causing arbitrarily long
sequence of out-of-bounds access in fnmatch("/","",FNM_PATHNAME)
unlike the old one, this one's algorithm does not suffer from
potential stack overflow issues or pathologically bad performance on
certain patterns. instead of backtracking, it uses a matching
algorithm which I have not seen before (unsure whether I invented or
re-invented it) that runs in O(1) space and O(nm) time. it may be
possible to improve the time to O(n), but not without significantly
greater complexity.
an invalid bracket expression must be treated as if the opening
bracket were just a literal character. this is to fix a bug whereby
POSIX left the behavior of the "[" shell command undefined due to it
being an invalid bracket expression.
