+This parameter permits to extend glob patterns on `path` and `exclude_path` parameters.
+When specifying `extended`, users can use `[]` and `?` in glob patterns.
+When specifying `always`, users can use `[]`, `?`, and additonally `{}` in glob patterns.

+However, `always` option is not able to use with the default value of `path_delimiter`.
+When using the default value of `path_delimiter`, it will be marked as `Fluent::ConfigError`.
