Yes, but remember that one of the rules for a partial match is this:

  "However, at least one character in the subject must have been
  inspected."
  
It will never give a partial match of zero characters, because you can 
*always* find such a match at the end of the subject. I have expanded 
the sentence about 'end of string' matches to say that at least one 
character must have been inspected.
