I surely can, I'm just not sure that it makes sense. :)
The fact is that the match type is one and only one
(normal/partial/etc); the match options are orthogonal to the specific
match type (f.i. anchor the match at the offset) and can possibly be
more than one at one time. We should then decide what if both the kind
of partial matchings are specified at the same time.
