Create a symlink that points to file that doesn't exist:

    ln -s /nonexisting_file my_symlink

Then try to glob for that symlink from Python using pathlib:

    python3
    >>> import pathlib
    >>> list(pathlib.Path(".").glob("my_symlink"))
    []
    >>> list(pathlib.Path(".").glob("my_symlink*"))
    [PosixPath('my_symlink')]

I'm a bit surprised that these two globs do not return the same results. Personally I would expect both to find the symlink.

Is this behaviour a bug or is it intentional?
