 +======Synopsis:======
 +$__getmatches__(<array> <pattern>)
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +This function treats the items in array as literal strings, and returns
 +a word list of item values such that
 +
 + for i in ($getrmatches(<array> <string>)) {
 + if (getitem(<array> $i) =~ <pattern>) {
 + echo True
 + } else {
 + echo False
 + }
 + }
 +
 +only outputs True and enver False.  This is the reverse of [[getrmatches]].
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +The $__getmatches__() function is used to retrieve all items in the given
 +array that match the given pattern.  Similarly, $__getrmatches__() is used
 +to retrieve all items that match the given string.
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +list of item numbers corresponding to matches
