The first-encountered partial offset is not always equal to last bumpalong
offset.
In case of using '\K' the first-encountered partial offset is not useful,
but last bumpalong offset is.
For example
subject string: 'abc\Kxyz'
pattern: 'bcxy'
first-encountered partial offset: 4
last bumpalong offset: 2
IMHO, for multisegment matching purposes the last bumpalong offset is
needed.
