matchPrior

Attempts to determine which prior to put on a parameter based on a list of settings,
such as the output from <code>setPriors()</code>. The function follows the following
search pattern: (1) looks for an exact match to the parameter name including brackets;
(2) a match to the parameter name without brackets; (3) goes through each value
supplied to <code>...</code> in order and looks for a match in the names of the
settings list. Once a match is found the function returns the corresponding
prior value.
