"string-match-pattern"?

"string-match-list"?

[The term "pattern" may already be taken though:  In the recent
changes to apropos, Richard used the term "pattern" to refer to the
new "regexp if it's a string, list of constant strings-to-match if
it's a list" datatype.

The two concepts aren't really incompatible; maybe they could even be
unified, but that's arguably forcing things too much.]
