a structure describing a match pattern and associated options such as:
- Pattern type: regex, wildcard (see Note 1), and substring (new).
- Alphanumeric character handling: case-sensitive, case-insensitive,
equivalent character matching (new - see Note 2).
- Match goal: "matching" vs. "inverted matching" (new).
Introduced additional "get*" and "set*" functions to accommodate the
new list-of-structures interfaces to TSM.
Incorporated most of MichelleC's feedback through 2022-12-04
on previously committed code. Other code cleanup.
See file tdecore/README.tdestringmatcher for additional information.
Note 1: The implementation of wildcard support no longer uses
the TQRegExp.setWildcard() function for regex conversion or
the TQRegExp.exactMatch() function for matching.
Note 2: Full implementation of equivalent character matching is
postponed to a future commit.

matching class. Additional information about the class can be
found in tdecore/README.tdestringmatcher.
Introduce concept of a "hidden file matcher" instance of the
TDEStringMatcher class that can be used to extend the definition
"hidden" files beyond traditional "dotfiles".
Create a global default instance of a "hidden file matcher"
for use in applications that don't need their own.
Modify KFileItem class to utilize a hidden file matcher when
evaluating whether or not a filesystem object is hidden.
This commit partially addresses issue # 273. Additional changes
to tdelibs, tdebase/libkonq, and tdebase/konqueror will be
required to resolve that issue.
