Is it possible to match quoted text case insensitively?

Code:

macro bag_contains items
    match 'pair of socks' more, items:
        socks = 1
    else match =book? more, items:
        book = 1
    end match
end macro

bag_contains "pair of socks"

Can't figure out how to match quoted string in case-insensitive manner.
Tried ="text?=" and a bunch of other variants, but quoted text seems to always be matched literally. Please advise

There is no such option in fasmg's MATCH, the case modifiers can only apply to name symbols.

I came up with this solution:

Code:

macro bag_contains item
  local it
  len = lengthof `item
  if `item and 0xff = "'" & `item shr ((len - 1) * 8) = "'"
    eval 'define it ', item
  else
    define it item
  end if
  match =pair? =of? =socks?, it
      display 'socks',13,10
  end match
end macro

bag_contains pair OF socks
bag_contains 'pair OF socks'

Look OK, if that works for you. EVAL can often help when there is no other option.
