I have at least one use case where I want to completely detach a background process, i.e. use a feather script as a "lancher" for a long-term background application. Currently...

Nice idea ! The situation is like this in `Base` and `Stdlib` because apparently the implementation tests if a file already exists with a given name by directly creating it....

Some leads about pre-made solutions: - ocaml-glob (https://github.com/andrenth/ocaml-glob) : very old, may need to be revived. Wrapper around glob(3) so should be portable, and directly works on file system paths....

Actually there are two other solutions that I didn't come across until now, that are probably better (and on opam): - `path_glob` (https://gitlab.com/gasche/path_glob), an up to date and documented library...

For the interface, I'm thinking of another way that may be more practical for both us and the users: do not expand the glob operators until the pipeline is run...

I had the same need and wrote a [small PPX rewriter](https://github.com/Firobe/ocaml-stdint-literals) to do just that

The warning seems to be triggered in more parts of the codebase than what you changed (see the CI) :)
