Complex Globbing

Curl globbing is really good. You can use [] to sequence and {} to list.
But.... Why not do various sequences?

This is from the manual:

curl "http://{site,host}.host[1-5].example" -o "#1_#2"

But, why if I want to do various sequences, like download 1-5 and 10-15 but
not 6-9?

curl "http://{site,host}.host*[1-5,10-15]*.example" -o "#1_#2"

And why not mix everything. Sequence and text:

curl "http://{site,host}.host*{[1-5],[10-15],ana,bob}*.example" -o "#1_#2"

So, it will download 1-5, 10-15, ana and bob (from site.hot and host.host).
Look like the same command can be done by:

curl "http://{site,host}.host*[1-5]*.example" -o "#1_#2" "http://
{site,host}.host*[10-15]*.example" -o "#1_#2" http://{site,host}.host
*{ana,bob}*.example" -o "#1_#2"

This is a lot of text! Today I can't do the same thing, right? Just need to
do the last command?
