The zip provider also needs to be updated, the changes to the default 
and jrt providers look good.

The PathMatcher/Basic.java test already has a test for an unknown syntax 
so that might be a better place to check that you can use both regex and 
glob in mixed case.

This should be okay, this is talking about the resulting PathMatcher 
rather than the case of the syntax name specified to getPathMatcher.
