the false here means that partial matches are discounted. i'm not sure
this is correct as at least in pbs and pdm, we do use a partial check as
that is equivalent to the check i ported over.

imo, we'd need to discuss what the proper semantics are here and at
least up until now, we decided for partial semantics.
