// Match reports whether name matches the shell pattern.
// The pattern syntax is:
//
//	pattern:
//		{ term }
//	term:
//		'*'         matches any sequence of non-/ characters
//		'?'         matches any single non-/ character
//		'[' [ '^' ] { character-range } ']'
//		            character class (must be non-empty)
//		c           matches character c (c != '*', '?', '\\', '[')
//		'\\' c      matches character c
//
//	character-range:
//		c           matches character c (c != '\\', '-', ']')
//		'\\' c      matches character c
//		lo '-' hi   matches character c for lo <= c <= hi
//
// Match requires pattern to match all of name, not just a substring.
// The only possible returned error is [ErrBadPattern], when pattern
// is malformed.

// scanChunk gets the next segment of pattern, which is a non-star string
// possibly preceded by a star.

// matchChunk checks whether chunk matches the beginning of s.
// If so, it returns the remainder of s (after the match).
// Chunk is all single-character operators: literals, char classes, and ?.

// getEsc gets a possibly-escaped character from chunk, for a character class.
