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.
This sentence is not about example above. In my example result must not be
a partial match. Result must be "not match".
