+======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
