Yes indeed. I don't especially like the way I've done it -- but it
seemed like an improvement, nevertheless.

It's true that this one is an intermediate by default; but it's one
which users might potentially want to set in order to say "I don't
care about the default schemes at all; I only want the specific
schemes I've specified here to be matched."

So of the two new variables I'm adding, a user might set one or the
other depending on their needs. That was my line of thought, anyhow.
