I've been poking around for a couple of minutes to see whether we have a
function to list files matching a regexp a la how a shell matches them.
That is:

$ ls ~/src/emacs/*/lisp/abbrev.el
/home/larsi/src/emacs/27.1/lisp/abbrev.el
/home/larsi/src/emacs/bisect/lisp/abbrev.el
/home/larsi/src/emacs/emacs-28/lisp/abbrev.el
/home/larsi/src/emacs/foo/lisp/abbrev.el
...

This is with a glob, but ideally you'd be able to drop in a regexp
anywhere in the file name.  Do we have that anywhere in Emacs?
