Function: isGlobString()

isGlobString(inp): boolean

Tell whether a string is a glob pattern rather than a literal path: whether it has an unescaped *, a closed bracket class ([abc]), a closed brace group ({a,b}), an extglob (@(a|b), !(a)…), a regex-like group ((a|b)), a leading ! (a negation), or an unescaped ? (a wildcard of one character for Glob: 'a?b'). A character escaped with \ does not count. @param inp The string to test; an empty string or a value which is not a string gives false. @returns true when the string has glob syntax, false otherwise.
