Is path current?

PathHelper::isPathCurrent('dir/file.txt', 'dir/*'); // returns TRUE
PathHelper::isPathCurrent('dir/sub/file.txt', 'dir/*'); // returns FALSE
PathHelper::isPathCurrent('dir/sub/file.txt', 'dir/*/*'); // returns TRUE
PathHelper::isPathCurrent('dir/sub/file.txt', 'dir/**'); // returns TRUE
