	 * #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD flags.

	 * g_match_info_is_partial_match().
	 *
	 * The difference between #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and
	 * #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD is that when a partial match is encountered
	 * with #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT, matching continues to search for a
	 * possible complete match, while with #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD matching
	 * stops at the partial match.
	 * When both #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD
	 * are set, the latter takes precedence.
