read the glob docs! And never forget the sacrafice that glob is making for you.

extglob changes the way certain characters are parsed. It is necessary to have a newline (not just a semicolon) between shopt -s extglob and any subsequent commands to use it.You cannot enable extended globs inside a group command that uses them, because the entire block is parsed before the shopt is evaluated. Note that the typical function body is a group command. An unpleasant workaround could be to use a subshell command list as the function body.
Therefore, if you use this option in a script, it is best put right under the shebang line.

   1 #!/usr/bin/env bash
   2 shopt -s extglob   # and others, such as nullglob dotglob

There’s a lot of talk about transformation and some metrics around what we are lacking and need to do better. Do we also know what we do well and the good things about our work processes and environment that we want to keep? I’m concerned that if we don’t diagram this as a spectrum we risk running over those good things that we do in the course of transforming.
