Looks good. But maybe an additional warning should be printed if people
use globs on the "systemctl start" command line? Some shorter version of
the blurb you added to the man page? i am pretty sure people will run
into this problem, and we should tell them what is going on...

This looks prettier:

    #define GLOB_CHARS "*=["

    bool string_is_glob(const char *p) {
            return !!strpbrk(p, GLOB_CHARS);
    }

The macro should probably live in the header, next to ther others... And
maybe the function too as static inline? given that is is just one
function call internally that sounds pretty ok as static inline call?
