Description: In #101398 we added support for the recursive wildcard ** in pathlib.PurePath.match(). This should allow arbitrary prefix and suffix matching, like p.match('foo/**') or p.match('**/foo'), but there's a problem: for relative patterns only, match() implicitly inserts a ** token on the left hand side, causing all patterns to match from the right. As a result, it's impossible to match relative patterns from the left: PurePath('foo/bar').match('bar/**') is true! This PR reverts the changes to match(), and instead adds a new full_match() method that: Allows empty patterns Supports the recursive wildcard ** Matches the entire path when given a relative pattern Issue: gh-73435 📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://cpython-previews--114350.org.readthedocs.build/en/114350/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.PurePath.globmatch
