Description

enhancement question

Currently, using match.match("I really like time-travel!", "time") will return a match on the "time" portion of "time-travel". I can see applications where this is useful and also where this is terrible lol. Therefore it should probably be optional whether or not to match on portions of hyphenated words or to treat hyphenated words as one word. 👍
