complicated to document?
  The <patList> is a list of glob-patterns applied each on
  the positionally corresponding element of <errorCode>.

complicated to implement?
  proc matches {patList errorCode} {
     set i 0
     foreach p $patList {
	set errElem [lindex $errorCode $i]; incr i
        if {![string match $p $errElem]} {return 0}
     }
     return 1
  }

Ok, it's more than a single [string match], but it's not
massively more complicated.

actually I meant:  string map {considered implemented}
