Consider that we want to enumerate all files that are under a specified directory and whose name is also specified.  If the name in question is "foo.txt" for example, we can do it by:

```
basedir = "/path/to/base/dir/"
filename = "foo.txt"
Dir.glob(basedir + "**/" + filename) # or Dir.glob("**/" + filename, base: basedir)?
```

However, if `filename` is "foo[bar]baz.txt", this code does not work.  In this case, this feature is still useful.

(I personally prefer `File.fnmatch_escape` to `Dir.escape_glob`.)

This is inspired by https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/6010.

Basically, if you do a Dir.glob in a directory whose name contains a glob character, things break. It would be nice to have a method which would escape the input so that we can Dir.glob inside of those directories.
