Shouldn't this explain what a "hidden directory" is? For example, a
Windows user may think this means a directory with
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN set, but that's not what's meant here. Also, I
think it should note that enabling include_hidden negates the earlier
claim that "files beginning with a dot (.) can only be matched by
patterns that also start with a dot". For example, glob.glob('*',
include_hidden=True) includes all of the conventionally hidden
directories and hidden files in the current directory.
