Yes.

The follow-up change to this one (which I haven't sent yet but is

Yes.

If I got these two pieces right, it looks like we could just apply the

Not without a third set of changes, since set expansion doesn't use
visitdir (or the matcher being built) at all - the dependency is that
building the matcher depends on expanding the set (and thus the set can't
depend on the matcher).
It would technically be doable for re:, but I'm wary of getting into the
business of parsing and special-casing regexes to assume what they match or
don't.
