Hi,

I’d appreciate a review of PR #[151479](https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/151479), a small documentation-only change that adds an example to the `pathlib` `full_match()` docs showing how `**` behaves with trailing slashes.

The PR has been open for about four months.

Thanks!

I think the purpose is good but perhaps longer than necessary.

Thanks, Terry. I have shortened it as you suggested (now +13 -1 instead of +19 -1) and replied to macmarrum’s comments on the PR. It is ready for another look whenever someone has time.

Terry, picnixz has approved the PR and asked whether it’s clear enough for newcomers. Your view on that would help get it approved. Thanks!
