  Since the average filename is longer than 10 characters, but

  The //list view// above is just to illustrate the concept. The

  the pattern strings are of variable length, we cannot simple use
  a C array here; but instead we'll use a large memory chunk (which

- different depending on the platform (data alignment!).
