export vscode glob implementation library

[7sunarni]

It's very useful to do some filters with include and exclude options when I do search/replace in vscode.

And I want to develop a extension and I hope my extension has same behavior when do some filter to files like below .

...
function filter(links: vscode.Location[], include: string, exclude: string): vscode.Location[] {
	return links.filter(item => {
		let includeMatch = true;
		if (include && include !== '') {
			match = glob.match(include, item.uri.toString());
		}
		let excludeMatch = true;
		if (exclude && exclude !== '') {
			excludeMatch = !glob.match(exclude, item.uri.toString());
		}
		return includeMatch && excludeMatch;
	});
}
....

And I found the (vscode glob pattern document)[https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/glob-patterns], it seems that vscode implement its glob pattern, and doesn't exported in its api? (or I don't find it)

So, could vscode export its glob api, and the extensions can behave same with the vscode.

This is implemented in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/src/vs/base/common/glob.ts under the MIT license if you want to use it. It seems unlikely that we would add it to the extension API at the moment.

Yes. I noticed this file.

And this file import some files from the src/vs/base/common directory and those file also import other files and some from parent nls directory
so It need to copy whole directory to my project.
I thinks this may make its hard to catch up the update from the source.

So it can be very useful if it can import from the vscode base library.
