 * types, even if they contained integer values.

/*!
 * \brief Tests 2 variable lists to see if they match
 * \since 13.9.0
 *
 * \param left Variable list to test
 * \param right Variable list with an optional realtime-style operator in the names
 * \param exact_match If true, all variables in left must match all variables in right
 *        and vice versa.  This does exact value matches only.  Operators aren't supported.
 *        Except for order, the left and right lists must be equal.
 *
 *        If false, every variable in the right list must match some variable in the left list
 *        using the operators supplied. Variables in the left list that aren't in the right
 *        list are ignored for matching purposes.
 *
 * \retval 1 matches
 * \retval 0 doesn't match
 *
 * \details
 * Iterates over the variable lists calling ast_variables_match.  If any match fails
 * or a variable in the right list isn't in the left list, 0 is returned.
