`file_scan_exclusions` glob syntax to select root folder (or file) but not subfolders (or files deeper in the tree) with the same name

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it
The following config results in excluding all folders named "foldername" in the codebase tree, effectively equivalent to "**/foldername" (I only want to exclude the matching folder at the root of the tree):
"file_scan_exclusions": [
"foldername"
]
I tried "./foldername" and "foldername" and "~/foldername", but these do not match anything at all.
Through trial and error using variants of the Glob syntax documented elsewhere, I found this workaround: "[f]oldername" ... which feels a bit "dirty" to me :)
If I understand correctly, this behaviour matches the heuristics implemented in PathMatcher, more specifically the cascade into self.glob:

Is there a "cleaner" way to reference root folders / files?
