MatchPatternNoCase -- Checks for a pattern match with a string (V37)
match = MatchPatternNoCase(pat, str)
D0 D1 D2
BOOL MatchPatternNoCase(STRPTR, STRPTR)
Checks for a pattern match with a string. The pattern must be a
tokenized string output by ParsePatternNoCase(). This routine is
case-insensitive.
NOTE: this routine is highly recursive. You must have at least
1500 free bytes of stack to call this (it will cut off it's
recursion before going any deeper than that and return failure).
That's _currently_ enough for about 100 levels deep of #, (, ~, etc.
pat - Special pattern string to match as returned by ParsePatternNoCase()
str - String to match against given pattern
match - success or failure of pattern match. On failure,
IoErr() will return 0 or ERROR_TOO_MANY_LEVELS (starting
with V37 - before that there was no stack checking).
