Ok so, caseIgnoreListSubstringsMatch is no different than
caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch -except- for:
A. the list is effectively concatenated into one line
B. there are "markers" where there were line breaks that no single pattern
can cross
C. \'s and $'s are handled so that they can be escaped out
Does that sound right?
