Very nicely done.
I wanted to explain to myself what "limit" and "preimage_limit" variables
mean. preimage-limit has a very clear definition: this many lines from
the beginning of preimage must match img, and the remainder of the
preimage must be all blank (the remainder can exist only when we are
trying to match at the end).
On the other hand "limit" does not have such a good definition, other than
as a work around to bypass line-number check when we are trying to match
at the end. It might be cleaner to read if we move the problematic "line
numbers must match" logic and eliminate this variable, like the attached
patch does on top of this one.
I couldn't figure out how this would interact with the ignore_ws_change
codepath, though. That one shows a clear sign of being bolted on as an
afterthought (once you fall into that "if()" statement you will not come
back).
