pathlib.Path.glob() currently generates Path objects for intermediate paths that might never be yielded to the user, which is slow and unnecessary. For example, a pattern like **/*.mp3 is evaluated by creating a Path object for every directory visited.
There are already few tricks employed to avoid instantiation, but it would be better if only real results were converted to path objects.
