Subject: [PATCH] Clarify double asterisk behaviour

I did not understand what "super-asterisk" means, and I had naively assumed
that the behaviour would match glob implementations I am used to.

 ## Syntax
 
-Syntax is inspired by [standard wildcards](http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/x11655.htm),
-except that `**` is aka super-asterisk, that do not sensitive for separators.
+Syntax is inspired by [standard wildcards](http://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/x11655.htm).

+Note that the behaviour of `**` is different from typical glob implementations. It does not have the special behaviour of things like the `ls` terminal command. In tools like `ls`, a double-asterisk matches _zero or more directories deep_, in this library it matches _1+ directories deep_.
