3. John wanted a way to deem a recipe matched as soon as the score became
positive to make for easier ORing.

Someone else tried a 4., so I'll start at 5.  Here's a couple:

5. Make the need for LINEBUF go away.  I may have faulty memory, but I looked
at the code about a year and a half ago and it didn't look too bad to do that.
(I was, to be sure, looking for other reasons though.)

6. Variables containing what came before and after $MATCH.

(I had an example use for #6 involving MIME... I'll see if I can find it
and post it later.  The basic idea was, get something into $MATCH and then
replace that with something else.)
