/**
 * Matches state names using glob-like pattern strings.
 *
 * Globs can be used in specific APIs including:
 *
 * - [[StateService.is]]
 * - [[StateService.includes]]
 * - The first argument to Hook Registration functions like [[TransitionService.onStart]]
 *    - [[HookMatchCriteria]] and [[HookMatchCriterion]]
 *
 * A `Glob` string is a pattern which matches state names.
 * Nested state names are split into segments (separated by a dot) when processing.
 * The state named `foo.bar.baz` is split into three segments ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
 *
 * Globs work according to the following rules:
 *
 * ### Exact match:
 *
 * The glob `'A.B'` matches the state named exactly `'A.B'`.
 *
 * | Glob        |Matches states named|Does not match state named|
 * |:------------|:--------------------|:---------------------|
 * | `'A'`       | `'A'`               | `'B'` , `'A.C'`      |
 * | `'A.B'`     | `'A.B'`             | `'A'` , `'A.B.C'`    |
 * | `'foo'`     | `'foo'`             | `'FOO'` , `'foo.bar'`|
 *
 * ### Single star (`*`)
 *
 * A single star (`*`) is a wildcard that matches exactly one segment.
 *
 * | Glob        |Matches states named  |Does not match state named |
 * |:------------|:---------------------|:--------------------------|
 * | `'*'`       | `'A'` , `'Z'`        | `'A.B'` , `'Z.Y.X'`       |
 * | `'A.*'`     | `'A.B'` , `'A.C'`    | `'A'` , `'A.B.C'`         |
 * | `'A.*.*'`   | `'A.B.C'` , `'A.X.Y'`| `'A'`, `'A.B'` , `'Z.Y.X'`|
 *
 * ### Double star (`**`)
 *
 * A double star (`'**'`) is a wildcard that matches *zero or more segments*
 *
 * | Glob        |Matches states named                           |Does not match state named         |
 * |:------------|:----------------------------------------------|:----------------------------------|
 * | `'**'`      | `'A'` , `'A.B'`, `'Z.Y.X'`                    | (matches all states)              |
 * | `'A.**'`    | `'A'` , `'A.B'` , `'A.C.X'`                   | `'Z.Y.X'`                         |
 * | `'**.X'`    | `'X'` , `'A.X'` , `'Z.Y.X'`                   | `'A'` , `'A.login.Z'`             |
 * | `'A.**.X'`  | `'A.X'` , `'A.B.X'` , `'A.B.C.X'`             | `'A'` , `'A.B.C'`                 |
