In short they aren't the same... Try this:

Colin,
I found the opposite. You're on UD, right? I'm on UV.
UV has a !MATCHES subroutine to handle the case where ANS is a dynamic
array.
There is some UV/UD difference in the multivalue handling. This may be
one of those differences.

You may be right. I've no experience with unicode stuff, working
