Hi Peter,

Can you explain why the latter case (match all) is needed?

The way I'm looking at it, if you think of the reference as the "correct"
version, I don't see why you need more than one of them, and if you have
more than one, it seems like you're really testing the references, not the
test?

I'm probably missing something?
