<?
// matchRegexp($name, $regexp) (type => boolean):
// This function has a behavior similar to glob(3).
// It checks if the given $name matches $regexp.
//
// $name (string):
// A common string (may be a filename for some use cases).
//
// $regexp (string):
// The pattern used to compare the regex.
//
// EXAMPLE:
// >>> matchRegexp("data.txt", "*.txt")
// True
// >>> matchRegexp("data.txt", "[A-Z]*")
// False
// >>> matchRegexp("Data.txt", "[A-Z]*")
// True
