Problem with that is you'd have to change an awful lot of things to get all
the objects too.
It's been a while, but I remember I just re-wrote the existing "isname" to
handle space-separated lists such as "keyword" blocks so it matches partial
words from anywhere in the keyword block. That seemed like a pretty direct
fix (all the changes were in one place) and has been working wonderfully for
us.
For some reason (and I'm afraid I just can't recall), I didn't use a
tokenizer for this function (strtok) and I'm not totally certain my "new"
isname function is as fast as it could be (shame on me!) but I'll send what
I have if anyone's interrested.
