 * will be used to first convert the value to a <code>String</code>, so the evaluation
 * will be against the value's <code>String</code> equivalent.

 * The failure condition can be changed to occur either on a match or on a non-match by using
 * the {@link #setRequiresMatch(boolean) requiresMatch} property.  The default is <tt>true</tt>, i.e.
