/**
 * Recursively determine whether a given LLSD data block "matches" another
 * LLSD prototype. The returned string is empty() on success, non-empty() on
 * mismatch.
 *
 * This function tests structure (types) rather than data values. It is
 * intended for when a consumer expects an LLSD block with a particular
 * structure, and must succinctly detect whether the arriving block is
 * well-formed. For instance, a test of the form:
 * @code
 * if (! (data.has("request") && data.has("target") && data.has("modifier") ...))
 * @endcode
 * could instead be expressed by initializing a prototype LLSD map with the
 * required keys and writing:
 * @code
 * if (! llsd_matches(prototype, data).empty())
 * @endcode
 *
 * A non-empty return value is an error-message fragment intended to indicate
 * to (English-speaking) developers where in the prototype structure the
 * mismatch occurred.
 *
 * * If a slot in the prototype isUndefined(), then anything is valid at that
 *   place in the real object. (Passing prototype == LLSD() matches anything
 *   at all.)
 * * An array in the prototype must match a data array at least that large.
 *   (Additional entries in the data array are ignored.) Every isDefined()
 *   entry in the prototype array must match the corresponding entry in the
 *   data array.
 * * A map in the prototype must match a map in the data. Every key in the
 *   prototype map must match a corresponding key in the data map. (Additional
 *   keys in the data map are ignored.) Every isDefined() value in the
 *   prototype map must match the corresponding key's value in the data map.
 * * Scalar values in the prototype are tested for @em type rather than value.
 *   For instance, a String in the prototype matches any String at all. In
 *   effect, storing an Integer at a particular place in the prototype asserts
 *   that the caller intends to apply asInteger() to the corresponding slot in
 *   the data.
 * * A String in the prototype matches String, Boolean, Integer, Real, UUID,
 *   Date and URI, because asString() applied to any of these produces a
 *   meaningful result.
 * * Similarly, a Boolean, Integer or Real in the prototype can match any of
 *   Boolean, Integer or Real in the data -- or even String.
 * * UUID matches UUID or String.
 * * Date matches Date or String.
 * * URI matches URI or String.
 * * Binary in the prototype matches only Binary in the data.
 *
 * @TODO: when a Boolean, Integer or Real in the prototype matches a String in
 * the data, we should examine the String @em value to ensure it can be
 * meaningfully converted to the requested type. The same goes for UUID, Date
 * and URI.
