[folder_list] is based on glob, so it supports full UNIX file globbing on UNIX platforms. (On Windows, its supports Windows wildcard patterns, which are not as nice, IMHO, and not always compatible).
Maybe [folder_glob] would be a better name? [folder_list] may lead users to expect a list - of whatever kind - as a result. (I would even prefer [folder_ls] but that my be too unixish.)
Yeah, [folder_list] is not the best name. ls and glob are too UNIXish, tho I love UNIX. Hmm.. [file/listing]? "list" really seems to be the common word here. [file_list] might be the best bet. Folders are usually considered files, while files are not considered folders ever..
