This function is equivalent to the == operator for string evaluation and is preferred for most string evaluations.

Return Value

If lNewSetting is specified, the previous setting is returned.
Remarks
SetExact() returns and optionally sets the default string comparison methodology. SetExact() is a compatibility function and not recommended.
