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

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.
