* For most cases, this conversion would be largely unintentional
and also less efficient. If the regex is desirable, the caller
should invoke it explicitly.
For example,
findStrings(regExp(str), listOfStrings);
Or use one of the keyType, wordRe, wordRes variants instead.
If string is to be used as a plain (non-regex) matcher,
this can be directly invoked
findMatchingStrings(str, listOfStrings);
or using the ListOps instead:
findIndices(listOfStrings, str);
* provide function interfaces for keyType.
