Description:
------------
http://php.net/manual/en/function.glob.php contains:
GLOB_BRACE - Expands {a,b,c} to match 'a', 'b', or 'c'

While this apparently works on GNU/Linux, mac OS and Windows, I am told it does not on systems like Solaris: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70544&edit=2
And there is indeed a mention to that effect in the documentation page, the only problem being that:
*There is no mention in the item under "Valid flags" for GLOB_BRACE.
*The mention is a mere "Note" (white background).

I have personally committed code using this option without realizing it was not portable.
