There is at least one bug fixed in StringMatch in the current tree.
Obviously, I don't know if this is the only one.

Fair enough--send me a patch!

It doesn't need to be on a single line, but that's irrelevant.

I haven't really taken a look at StringMatch. If anyone would like to
rewrite it to use regex patterns, that might help. After all, we ought to
use that rx code for something!

I'm sure it's just a bug. There are probably others lurking out there too. :-)
