I think it would be confusing (let alone difficult to implement) if
NUMERIC_GLOB_SORT applied only to a substring of the matches.  That
is, if I have say « foo<->bar* » and there is a trailing numeric
component matched by the « * », what happens?  What about say «
[1-9]<->[2468] » ?  Patterns with « (...|...) » where « <-> » appears
only in one branch?
