I have to admit to not doing much with StackOverflow, the name says it
all really ;-)

The emphasis in Python 3 is on being as lazy as possible so much more
use of generators. If you want the data structure you ask for it
explicitly. So for me:

	RGlob('*.groovy')

would return a generator, and:

	tuple(RGlob('*.groovy'))

would be the tuple derived from it.

An alternative design would be to use a recursive globbing syntax int he
Glob and not have an RGlob at all. So, following Ant-like syntax:

	Glob('**/*.groovy')

would be the recursive form. This has the advantage of only needing
changes to the Glob system. I am beginning to prefer this solution.
