/**
 * \file match.c
 *
 * \brief Matching of object names.
 *
 * These are the PennMUSH name-matching routines, fully re-entrant.
 *  match_result(who,name,type,flags) - return match, AMBIGUOUS, or NOTHING
 *  noisy_match_result(who,name,type,flags) - return match or NOTHING,
 *      and notify player on failures
 *  last_match_result(who,name,type,flags) - return match or NOTHING,
 *      and return the last match found in ambiguous situations
 *
 * who = dbref of player to match for
 * name = string to match on
 * type = preferred type of match (TYPE_THING, etc.) or NOTYPE
 * flags = a set of bits indicating what kind of matching to do
 *
 * flags are defined in match.h, but here they are for reference:
 * MAT_CHECK_KEYS       - check locks when matching
 * MAT_GLOBAL           - match in master room
 * MAT_REMOTES          - match things not nearby
 * MAT_NEAR             - match things nearby
 * MAT_CONTROL          - do a control check after matching
 * MAT_ME               - match "me"
 * MAT_HERE             - match "here"
 * MAT_ABSOLUTE         - match "#dbref"
 * MAT_PLAYER           - match a player's name
 * MAT_NEIGHBOR         - match something in the same room
 * MAT_POSSESSION       - match something I'm carrying
 * MAT_EXIT             - match an exit
 * MAT_CARRIED_EXIT     - match a carried exit (rare)
 * MAT_CONTAINER        - match a container I'm in
 * MAT_REMOTE_CONTENTS  - match the contents of a remote location
 * MAT_ENGLISH          - match natural english 'my 2nd flower'
 * MAT_EVERYTHING       - me,here,absolute,player,neighbor,possession,exit
 * MAT_NEARBY           - everything near
 * MAT_OBJECTS          - me,absolute,player,neigbor,possession
 * MAT_NEAR_THINGS      - objects near
 * MAT_REMOTE           - absolute,player,remote_contents,exit,remotes
 * MAT_LIMITED          - absolute,player,neighbor

 *    containers, carried exits)
 *  a. If we don't have an object count, collect the number of exact
 *     and partial matches and the best partial match.
 *  b. If we do have an object count, collect the nth exact match
 *     and the nth match (exact or partial). number of matches is always
 *     0 or 1.
 * 4. Make decisions
 *  a. If we got a single exact match, return it
 *  b. If we got multiple exact matches, complain
 *  c. If we got no exact matches, but a single partial match, return it
 *  d. If we got multiple partial matches, complain
