Yes, but this only works if the value of 'varstring' is constant.

No, it matches the symbol "CITY". Would succeed if you call
(match '(@A "CITY" @B) '("a" "b" "CITY" "c" "d"))
but not
(match '(@A "CITY" @B) '("a" "b" "C" "I" "T" "Y" "c" "d"))

No, this won't work either. As the quoted list is not evaluated, it tries to
match the *atom* 'varstring' which will not be helpful.
