This solves the problem where we need to estimate the current line’s indent, but the lines above it is a multi-line block comment. Previously we would fetch indent patterns based on the current scope, then find the first line above caret, for which the patterns can be used to estimate the indent. The problem is that the commented lines without comment markers would be treated as code, and used for the indent.
With the new approach, we can set different patterns for ‘comment.block’ (the C bundle already does this), which basically ignore all the lines, which will cause TextMate to use the code above the comment to estimate indent.

This is more than creating a glob_list_t containing just ‘*’, as the latter does not match hidden files, so it is more like ‘{*,.*}’, which is a bit arcane, so I think it’s better to allow using an empty list in cases where you wish to match everything (but the API accepts a glob list for filtering purposes).
1. The * and ** operators will now match a dot if not at the beginning of a path component. E.g. ‘main*’ will match ‘main.cc’.
2. When negating a glob, the * and ** operators will include dot files. E.g. ‘!cache/**’ will match (reject) ‘cache/.DS_Store’.
3. The ** operator no longer needs a trailing slash. E.g. ‘src/**.cc’ will match ‘src/main.cc’ and ‘src/sys/util.cc’.
Unfortunately a printf precision specifier (‘%.*s’) can not come with a width specifier so we have to cast to int. The width specifier ‘t’ is used for ptrdiff_t.
The int → NSInteger change fixed a bug with popup menu positioning, but there was no associated warning or error. It's possible there are more such bugs that we haven't found yet!
