/**
 * Generate a regex based on glob pattern and options

 * @param glob - Glob pattern to be used
 * @param options - Specific options for the glob pattern
 * @returns A RegExp for the glob pattern
 * @example
 * Looking for all the `ts` files
 * ```typescript
 * walkSync(".", {
 * match: [glob("*.ts")]
 * })
 * ```
 * @example
 * Looking for all the `.json` files in any subfolder
 * of the `a` folder
 * ```typescript
 * walkSync(".", {
 *  match: [glob(join("a", "**", "*.json"),flags: "g",
 *  extended: true,
 *  globstar: true
 *  })]
