Description
**Your Godot version:**
Godot 3.6 & Godot 4.3
**Issue description:**
In the current explanation, it's unclear that which string should be wildcard pattern, i.e., whether the caller or the `expr` argument should be. (Same for `String.matchn(expr)`)
```
"abcdef".match("a?c*") # correct
"a?c*".match("abcdef") # wrong
```
Sample code or additional explanation such as "returns true if the string matches the pattern `expr`" would be helpful.
