DESCRIPTION::
OSCMessageDispatcher dispatches incoming OSC messages to matching functions, using pattern matching to see if regular expressions wildcards in the incoming message's address pattern match one of this dispatcher's OSCFuncs' paths. Normally users should not have to create or message instances of this class directly. For details on OSC pattern matching, see http://opensoundcontrol.org/spec-1_0
