OK, thanks!  This is much clearer now.

I've opened an internal issue about the deficiencies of the darn patterns and
their associated built-ins.  In response to PR103624, I would like to start
with the existing patch to ensure the new support mirrors what we had before,
so we have that as a baseline.  We can then move on to fixing the larger
set of problems.  Is that a reasonable plan?

Thanks!
