Function: match

--Usage--
> match(some_string, match: regular expression)
> match_rule(regular expression)()

Does a string match the given [[type:regex|regular expression]]?

This function is available in [[script:rule form]].
When the match is performed many times the rule form is more efficient, because the regular expression is only compiled once.

--Parameters--
| @input@	[[type:string]]		String to match.
| @match@	[[type:regex]]		Regular expression to match.

--Examples--
> match("aaaa", match:"a*")   == true
> match("a",    match:"b*")   == true
> match("abc",  match:"b+")   == true
> match("abc",  match:"$b+^") == false
>
> f := match_rule(match: "a+|b+")
> f("xyz") == false
