            targets specified with the fileglob_or_target glob pattern(s).

            If a single target is specified without glob characters, and it exists as a directory,
            then the working directory is changed to that target and a listing of that directory
            is returned. If the single target specified without glob characters does not exist as
            a directory, then it is treated as a glob pattern and the listing is for the current
            directory with results filtered to match fileglob_or_target.

            If multiple targets or glob patterns are specified, then a separate listing is returned
            for each fileglob_or_target pattern.

            This function is provided via aliases as ./ and .// with v being inferred from the alias
            name, and also as d/ with an explicit v argument.
            The ./ and .// forms are more convenient for interactive use.
            examples:

              .//                 - list directories and files in current directory
              ./  src/*           - list directories in src
              .// src/*           - list directories and files in src
              .// *.txt           - list files in current directory with .txt extension
              .// {t*[1-3].txt}   - list files in current directory with t*1.txt or t*2.txt or t*3.txt name
                                    (on a case-insensitive filesystem this would also match T*1.txt etc)
              .// {[T]*[1-3].txt} - list files in current directory with [T]*[1-3].txt name
                                    (glob chars treated as literals due to being in character-class brackets
                                    This will match files beginning with a capital T and not lower case t
                                    even on a case-insensitive filesystem.)

    #NOTE - as we expect to run other apps (e.g Tk) in the same process, but possibly different threads  - we should be careful about use of cd which is per-process not per-thread.
    #As this function recurses and calls cd multiple times - it's not thread-safe.
    #Another thread could theoretically cd whilst this is running.
    #Most likely this will then just error-out - but there is a possibility we could end up in the wrong directory, or cause the same problems in the other thread.
    #REVIEW - consider looking at current directory only at the beginning and do a single cd to an absolute path.
    #currently this allows ./ subdir subdir2 nonexistant   and we cd to subdir/subdir2 even though an error is produced at the end.
    #This offers a convenience for repl useage at the slight cost of more potential cross-thread cd interference
    #- although presumably most library code shouldn't be changing CWD anyway.
    #Ideally the user/repl should be in control of the processes working directory and we shouldn't have to worry too much here.
    #Notably for example tcltest-2.5.5 at least uses cd - so this is something that may be best run in a separate process (for each test suite?)

            unaffected by any changes to environment variables.

            This is a convenience function for quickly navigating to commonly used
            locations within the home directory, without having to type out the full
            path or use environment variables.

            Like the './' command, this navigates to the folder and then lists the sub-directories,
            with a summary of the number of sub-directories and files, and total file size in bytes.

    #glob patterns in path prior to final segment should already be resolved before using dirfiles_dict - as the underlying filesystem mechanisms can't do nested globbing themselves.
    #dirfiles_dict will assume the path up to the final segment is literal even if globchars are included therein.
    #final segment globs will be recognised only if -tailglob is passed as empty string
    #if -tailglob not supplied and last segment has globchars - presume searchspec parendir is the container and last segment is globbing within that.
    #if -tailglob not supplied and last segment has no globchars - presume searchspec is a container(directory) and use glob *
    #caller should use parentdir as location and set tailglob to search-pattern or exact match if location is intended to match a file rather than a directory
    #examples:
    #                 somewhere/files   = search is effectively somewhere/files/*         (location somewhere/files glob is *)
    #                 somewhere/files/* = (as above)
    # -tailglob *     somewhere/files   = (as above)
    #
    # -tailglob ""    somewhere/files   = search somewhere folder for exactly 'files'     (location somewhere glob is files)
    # -tailglob files somewhere         = (as above)
    #
    #                 somewhere/f*      = search somewhere folder for f*                  (location somewhere  glob is f*)
    # -tailglob f*    somewhere         = (as above)
    #
    # This somewhat clumsy API is so that simple searches can be made in a default sensible manner without requiring extra -tailglob argument for the common cases - with lack of trailing glob segment indicating a directory listing
    #  - but we need to distinguish somewhere/files   as a search of that folder vs somewhere/files as a search for exactly 'files' within somewhere, hence the -tailglob option to fine-tune.
    #  - this also in theory allows file/directory names to contain glob chars - although this is probably unlikely and/or unwise and not likely to be usable on all platforms.
    #
    #if caller supplies a tailglob as empty string - presume the caller hasn't set location to parentdir - and that last element is the search pattern.
    # -searchbase is always passed through - and is only used to construct a location path if a relative searchspec was supplied

            Note that on windows, Tcl's glob command uses very basic heuristics to determine the permissions - it doesn't
            actually check the ACLs.
            For example - the test for executable permission is just whether the file has a known executable extension
            and the test for readonly is just whether the file has the read-only attribute set.

            On unix, the permissions are likely to be determined by checking the actual permissions of the file against
            the current user's uid and groups.

            When entry types are given, results matching any of those types will be returned.
            When attributes or permissions are given, only results matching all of the specified attributes or permissions
            will be returned.

            The default (empty list) is to return all types and ignore attributes and permissions.
            If just attributes or permissions are given without entry types, then the types will be filtered according to
            the specified attributes or permissions but not according to the directory entry type
            - so for example if just 'hidden' attribute is given, then both files and folders with the hidden attribute
            will be returned.
