"Globbing" can turn out to be wishful thinking, anyway, when
for example, directories are prohibitively large; a generally
usable program will have sequential directory scanning.

Maybe the following change can lift Directories.Start_Search
from implementation defined to standard?  Assuming a simplified
Ada style RE package based on Strings.Maps etc., and a Pattern_Type:

procedure Start_Search
  (Search    : in out Search_Type;
   Directory : in String;
   Matcher   : access function (Pattern : Pattern_Type) return Boolean;
   Filter    : in Filter_Type := (others => True));
