I can't make the regexp code behave as anticipated, thus the workaround.
Worse, the string match code seems fundamentally unhappy with brackets.

I'd approach comp.lang.tcl with this issue and/or check out the tclers wiki and
see if any articles are on point. The Tcler's Wiki
The lsearch idea is a okay but forces an abstraction from one
implicit type to another without solving the underlying problem and
possibly causing others...
