It would be nice if fnmatch also supported the standard alternaltion syntax for wildcards, where "abc.{def,ghi}.jkl" matches either abc.def.jkl or "abc.gji.jkl". Attached is a modified version of the function that does that. Like the current implementation, the additions lack an escape syntax. So it's not possible to match filename with a literal ',' or '{'. (Just like the current function is unable to match a literal '[', '*' or '?' in a filename)
