Just perusing, at first glance:

    template<class charT>
    bool pattern_match(const charT* ptr, const pattern_type& pat);

    Returns the result of pattern_match(ptr, ptr +
        pattern_type::traits_type::length(ptr), pat);

That final expression looks like a misuse of traits. What if pattern_type
were const char*? Don't you mean:

    traits<pattern_type>::length(ptr)

??
