hkoba: switch with regexp variable capturing.

Note: As of Tcl 8.5, the built in switch command supports regex variable capture natively via the "-matchvar" option.

Example -
 # source this and
 namespace import switch-regexp::*
 
 foreach somevar {{** !!} {100 200}} {
   switch-regexp -- $somevar {
      {^(\d+)\s+(\d+)} {1 2} {puts "You hit number matches $1 and $2"}
      {^(\S+)\s+(\S+)} {1 2} {puts "You hit matches $1 and $2"}
   }
 }

This produces:
  You hit matches ** and !!
  You hit number matches 100 and 200
