I can't say that i have fully tested this, but based on what i read in those two threads, i wrote this little script.
It takes a nickname and a given text as you would receive them in a text event and checks whether any highlight matches it.

Code:

; Returns whether a given string would trigger a highlight
; $1 The nick that said the text
; $2- The text
alias isHighlight {
  var %nick = $1
  var %message = $2-
  
  var %text
  
  var %highlightIdx = 1
  var %highlightText = $_highlight( %highlightIdx ).text
  var %highlightRegex = $_highlight( %highlightIdx ).regex
  var %highlightCS = $_highlight( %highlightIdx ).cs
  var %highlightNicks = $_highlight( %highlightIdx ).nicks
  var %highlightMessages = $_highlight( %highlightIdx ).messages

  while ( %highlightText != $null ) {
    %text = $null
    if ( %highlightNicks ) %text = $+( %text, $chr( 32 ), %nick )
    if ( %highlightMessages ) %text = $+( %text, $chr( 32 ), %message )
    
    if ( !%highlightCS ) {
      %text = $lower( %text )
      %highlightText = $lower( %highlightText )
    }
    
    if ( %highlightRegex ) {
      if ( $regex( %text, %highlightText ) > 0 ) return $true
    }
    elseif ( ( ? isin %highlightText ) || ( * isin %highlightText ) ) {
      if ( %highlightText iswmcs %text ) return $true
    }
    else {
      if ( $istokcs( %text, %highlightText, 32 ) ) return $true
    }

    inc %highlightIdx
    %highlightText = $_highlight( %highlightIdx ).text
    %highlightRegex = $_highlight( %highlightIdx ).regex
    %highlightCS = $_highlight( %highlightIdx ).cs
    %highlightNicks = $_highlight( %highlightIdx ).nicks
    %highlightMessages = $_highlight( %highlightIdx ).messages
  }
  
  return $false
}

Oh, and if someone can tell me if (and how) you can override an identifier (like $highlight) properly, please let me know

Suggestions are highly welcome.
