`path.escapeGlob`

[valler]

What is the problem this feature will solve?

Would allow to dynamically create glob patterns from arbitrary paths.

Example:

const pattern = `${path.escapeGlob(import.meta.dirname)}/*`;

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Something similar in functionality to this:

// Wraps symbols which open groups `{`, `[`, `(`, and
// those with semantics independent of groups `*`, `?`
path.escapeGlob = (x = "") => x.replace(/([*{[(?])/g, "[$1]");

And this:

// inverse path.escapeGlob
path.unescapeGlob = (x = "") => x.replace(/\[(.)\]/g, "$1");

I was using #58988 as a reference for special chars.

What alternatives have you considered?

Using a user land package everywhere dynamic glob creation is required, or even for everything glob related to keep things consistent.
