Not only that but that would be hideous over-engineering (so not
suitable for `master` either).
The use of a function for `require-match` is already extremely rare
(we've had `require-match` for more than 30 years and it's only last
year that we decided it was worth generalizing it to a function), and
the new proposed behavior is strictly more general than the
29.1 behavior.
