// summary:
// Helper function to convert a simple pattern to a regular expression for matching.
// description:
// Returns a regular expression object that conforms to the defined conversion rules.
// For example:
// ca* -> /^ca.*$/
// *ca* -> /^.*ca.*$/
// *c\*a* -> /^.*c\*a.*$/
// *c\*a?* -> /^.*c\*a..*$/
// and so on.
//
// pattern: string
// A simple matching pattern to convert that follows basic rules:
// * Means match anything, so ca* means match anything starting with ca
// ? Means match single character. So, b?b will match to bob and bab, and so on.
// \ is an escape character. So for example, \* means do not treat * as a match, but literal character *.
// To use a \ as a character in the string, it must be escaped. So in the pattern it should be
// represented by \\ to be treated as an ordinary \ character instead of an escape.
//
// ignoreCase:
// An optional flag to indicate if the pattern matching should be treated as case-sensitive or not when comparing
// By default, it is assumed case sensitive.
