Good question. I changed the symbol/string matching function from a "compare two strings exactly" function to a "match a (possibly versioned) symbol name with a string" function. A small optimization, to avoid worrying about both strings being versioned, is that the new function's API expects the possibly versioned symbol name as the first parameter, and the string as the 2nd. I figured the first parameter is the most significant and should be the symbol. That forced the parameter reversal, and the subsequent comparison inversions.
