* @brief Implementation of the [Wildcard
* Matching](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/wildcard-pattern-matching/) problem.
* @details
* Given a matching string and a pattern, implement wildcard pattern
* matching with support for `?` and `*`. `?` matches any single character.
* `*` matches any sequence of characters (including the empty sequence).
* The matching should cover the entire matching string (not partial). The task
* is to determine if the pattern matches with the matching string
