(*
  FindMatchesBoyerMooreCaseSensitive

  Finds one or many ocurrences of an ansistring in another ansistring.
  It is case sensitive.

  * Parameters:
  S: The PAnsiChar to be searched in. (Read only).
  OldPattern: The PAnsiChar to be searched. (Read only).
  SSize: The size of S in Chars. (Read only).
  OldPatternSize: The size of OldPatter in chars. (Read only).
  aMatches: SizeInt array where match indexes are returned (zero based) (write only).
  aMatchAll: Finds all matches, not just the first one. (Read only).

  * Returns:
    Nothing, information returned in aMatches parameter.

  The function is based in the Boyer-Moore algorithm.

(*
  StringReplaceBoyerMoore

  Replaces one or many ocurrences of an ansistring in another ansistring by a new one.
  It can perform the compare ignoring case (ansi).

  * Parameters (Read only):
  S: The string to be searched in.
  OldPattern: The string to be searched.
  NewPattern: The string to replace OldPattern matches.
  Flags:
    rfReplaceAll: Replace all occurrences.
    rfIgnoreCase: Ignore case in OldPattern matching.

  * Returns:
    The modified string (if needed).

  It is memory conservative, just sizeof(SizeInt) per match in blocks off 100 matches
  plus Length(OldPattern)*2 in the case of ignoring case.
  Memory copies are the minimun necessary.
  Algorithm based in the Boyer-Moore string search algorithm.

  It is faster when the "S" string is very long and the OldPattern is also
  very big. As much big the OldPattern is, faster the search is too.

  It uses 2 different helper versions of Boyer-Moore algorithm, one for case
  sensitive and one for case INsensitive for speed reasons.

  We turn off implicit exceptions, since these routines are tested, and it 
  saves 20% codesize (and some speed) and don't throw exceptions, except maybe 
  heap related. If they don't, that is consider a bug.

  In the future, be wary with routines that use strtoint, floating point

{ TryRomanToInt: try to convert a roman numeral to an integer
  Parameters:
  S: Roman numeral (like: 'MCMXXII')
  N: Integer value of S (only meaningfull if the function succeeds)
  Stricness: controls how strict the parsing of S is
    - rcsStrict:
      * Follow common subtraction rules
         - only 1 preceding subtraction character allowed: IX = 9, but IIX <> 8
         - from M you can only subtract C
         - from D you can only subtract C
         - from C you can only subtract X
         - from L you can only subtract X
         - from X you can only subtract I
         - from V you can only subtract I
      *  The numeral is parsed in "groups" (first M's, then D's etc.), the next group to be parsed
         must always be of a lower denomination than the previous one.
         Example: 'MMDCCXX' is allowed but 'MMCCXXDD' is not
      * There can only ever be 3 consecutive M's, C's, X's or I's
      * There can only ever be 1 D, 1 L and 1 V
      * After IX or IV there can be no more characters
      * Negative numbers are not supported
      // As a consequence the maximum allowed Roman numeral is MMMCMXCIX = 3999, also N can never become 0 (zero)

    - rcsRelaxed: Like rcsStrict but with the following exceptions:
      * An infinite number of (leading) M's is allowed
      * Up to 4 consecutive M's, C's, X's and I's are allowed
      // So this is allowed: 'MMMMMMCXIIII'  = 6124

    - rcsDontCare:
      * no checking on the order of "groups" is done
      * there are no restrictions on the number of consecutive chars
      * negative numbers are supported
      * an empty string as input will return True and N will be 0
      * invalid input will return false
      // for backwards comatibility: it supports rather ludicrous input like '-IIIMIII' -> -(2+(1000-1)+3)=-1004
