That's in place Roman, works identically to mine and I'll keep it on 
your say so, but what are the fine points on why your lines are better?  
I understand the '$~' now so that's accepted.  As I now have it:

NEW:
     if [[ "$scope_msg" = 'BROAD'                  && $dirname == 
(#i)*$~1* ]] \
     || [[ "$scope_msg" = 'Case INsensitive TAME' && $dirname == (#i)$~1 
]] \
     || [[ "$scope_msg" = 'Case Sensitive WILD'      && $dirname == 
*$~1* ]] \
     || [[ "$scope_msg" = 'EXACT'                  && $dirname == $~1 
]]; then ; # Do nothing, we have a match.
     else cc[$aa]=    # Kill the line, it does not match.
     fi
OLD:
     if [[ "$scope_msg" = 'BROAD'                  && $dirname = 
(#i)*$1* ]] \
     || [[ "$scope_msg" = 'Case INsensitive TAME' && $dirname:u = $1:u ]] \
     || [[ "$scope_msg" = 'Case Sensitive WILD'      && $dirname =~ $1 ]] \
     || [[ "$scope_msg" = 'EXACT'                  && $dirname = $1 ]]; 
then ; # Do nothing, we have a match.
     else cc[$aa]=    # Kill the line, it does not match.
     fi

I'm having fun experimenting with these terms and no one but me will 
ever  read them so I amuse myself.  I like 'exact'.  'broad' is 
useless.  Yeah, 'full' and 'partial' are more standard and perfectly 
clear. Tx.
