The problem is the way we treat wildcards in std/filesys.e:dir(). On windows, we can probably safely pass wildcards to the backend, which would avoid the case sensitivity issues faced by the use of wildcard_match().

I believe the *nix implementation does not allow wildcards passed to the backend, so that implementation would still need the special handling.
