Well, now, now, I still think it's useful. I *would* have implemented
it this way as well. The reason I didn't was to maintain compatibility
with screen. But I do agree that matching any part of the string is
more useful, especially if you're wankin' on the web and you wanna get
back to the window: Mozilla - Titties and Butts Up Close.
Should I break this compatibility?
