*
*  Match the pattern PATTERN against the string TEXT;
*
*       match() returns TRUE if pattern matches, FALSE otherwise.
*       matche() returns MATCH_VALID if pattern matches, or an errorcode
*           as follows otherwise:
*
*            MATCH_PATTERN  - bad pattern
*            MATCH_LITERAL  - match failure on literal mismatch
*            MATCH_RANGE    - match failure on [..] construct
*            MATCH_ABORT    - premature end of text string
*            MATCH_END      - premature end of pattern string
*            MATCH_VALID    - valid match
*
*
*  A match means the entire string TEXT is used up in matching.
*
*  In the pattern string:
*       `*' matches any sequence of characters (zero or more)
*       `?' matches any character
*       [SET] matches any character in the specified set,
*       [!SET] or [^SET] matches any character not in the specified set.
*
*  A set is composed of characters or ranges; a range looks like
*  character hyphen character (as in 0-9 or A-Z).  [0-9a-zA-Z_] is the
*  minimal set of characters allowed in the [..] pattern construct.
*  Other characters are allowed (ie. 8 bit characters) if your system
*  will support them.
*
*  To suppress the special syntactic significance of any of `[]*?!^-\',
*  and match the character exactly, precede it with a `\'.

*   PATTERN_ESC   - pattern has invalid escape ('\' at end of pattern)
*   PATTERN_RANGE - [..] construct has a no end range in a '-' pair (ie [a-])

*   PATTERN_EMPTY - [..] construct is empty (ie [])
