+ The match{}{} expansion condition (for regular expressions) is NOT affected.
+ For match_<type>{s1}{s2}, all list functionality is unchanged. The only
+ change is that a '$' appearing in s2 will not trigger expansion, but instead
+ will be treated as a literal $ sign; the effect is very similar to having
+ wrapped s2 with \N...\N. If s2 contains a named list and the list definition
+ uses $expansions then those _will_ be processed as normal. It is only the
+ point at which s2 is read where expansion is inhibited.
+
+ If you are trying to test if two email addresses are equal, use eqi{s1}{s2}.
+ If you are testing if the address in s1 occurs in the list of items given
+ in s2, either use the new inlisti{s1}{s2} condition (added in 4.77) or use
+ the pre-existing forany{s2}{eqi{$item}{s1}} condition.
