So, correct me if I'm wrong: "pending" here means "this match has been
found by re-starting the search from the original position".
If that is so, I don't understand the "pending" adjective here.
According to [1], "pending" = "about to happen or waiting to happen",
which is misleading here, no?.
What about changing "pending" for something like "restarted"?
In any case, please describe this flag in chapter 15 of the manual.
