+		Defines a pattern to be highlighted in the current window (a
+		"match").  It will be highlighted with {group}.  Returns an
+		identification number (ID), which can be used to delete the
+		match using |matchdelete()|.
+
+		The optional {priority} argument assigns a priority to the
+		match.  A match with a high priority will have its
+		highlighting overrule that of a match with a lower priority.
+		A priority is specified as an integer (negative numbers are no
+		exception).  If the {priority} argument is not specified, the
+		default priority is 10.  The priority of 'hlsearch' is zero,
+		hence all matches with a priority greater than zero will
+		overrule it.  Syntax highlighting (see 'syntax') is a separate
+		mechanism, and regardless of the chosen priority a match will
+		always overrule syntax highlighting.
+
+		The optional {id} argument allows the request for a specific
+		match ID.  If a specified ID is already taken, an error
+		message will appear and the match will not be added.  An ID
+		is specified as a positive integer (zero excluded).  IDs 1, 2
+		and 3 are reserved for |:match|, |:2match| and |:3match|,
+		respectively.  If the {id} argument is not specified,
+		|matchadd()| automatically chooses a free ID.
+
+		The number of matches is not limited, as it is the case with
+		the |:match| commands.
