The only really proper term, IMHO, is "qualifier".
That may be but I'd have to look up its meaning in a dictionary.
I'm not going to do that right now. I'm going to propose to use
words that people around the world can easily understand, even
those having trouble with english.
I think "qualifier" is good, in that it modifies the meaning of the term
that follows it. But it only does so if the term that follows results in
a match. I would suggest, then, that calling it something like
"match-qualifier" would make the meaning more clear.
