matchclass syntax / allowed operators
is this valid syntax for matchclass?
[matchclass $inbound_uri starts_with $::uri_redirects]
I'm trying to redirect based on a variable length leading directory in the URI string.

The main difference for the equality operators is between "==" and "eq". "equals" is merely an F5 synonym for "eq". The difference is that Tcl treats "eq" as a string comparison only. So, the operands of the operator are always converted to string form and then compared. The "==" operator is slightly different in that the operands are first tested to see if they are of the same type and compared in their native type (for example, two integers would be compared as integers instead of converted to strings and then compared). For the most part, the result would likely be the same using either operator, however using the "eq" operator on non-string operands could have strange side effect and/or an impact on performance.
