In pathlib, I add a parameter case_sensitive to glob and rglob.

Sometimes the extension would be in upper case but sometimes it would be lower case, for example: *.tif and *.TIF. So the parameter case_sensitive may be useful in some cases.

Usage example:

In [1]: from pathlib import Path

In [2]: path = Path('.')

In [3]: for each_file in path.glob('*.tif'):
   ...:     print(each_file)
   ...:     
a.tif
b.tif

In [4]: for each_file in path.rglob('*.TIF'):
   ...:     print(each_file)
   ...:     
c.TIF
TEST/d.TIF

In [5]: for each_file in path.glob('*.TIF', case_sensitive=False):
   ...:     print(each_file)
   ...:     
a.tif
c.TIF
b.tif

In [6]: for each_file in path.rglob('*.TIF', case_sensitive=False):
   ...:     print(each_file)
   ...:     
a.tif
c.TIF
b.tif
TEST/d.TIF
TEST/e.tif
