+ unable to match relative path names such as _\b._\b/_\bl_\bs or
+ _\b._\b._\b/_\bb_\bi_\bn_\b/_\bl_\bs. This has security implications when path
+ names that include globbing characters are used with
+ the negation operator, '!', as such rules can be
+ trivially bypassed. As such, this option should not be
