Test-Path -Path with wildcards misses hidden items

Test-Path treats hidden files and folders not like *-Items cmdlets do:

With literal paths, it finds items regardless of their hidden attribute.
With wildcards, it gets false if only hidden items match.

Unlike *-Item cmdlets, Test-Path does not have the switch Force in order to control the treatment of hidden items.

See the example script Test-1.ps1.
