hmm. i just went to section 9.5 in the manual i have on my laptop for
3.951, and partial-lsearch as described should have worked in my original
3.952 config. i'll have to fetch a copy of the docs that accompany 3.952
and see if they have changed.

my review of 9.4 and 9.5 leaves me unpersuaded. i'm going to have to spend
some time reviewing 10.13; it's been a while since i read it (more than a
couple of releases ago), and it's a complex section.
