I don't understand what (b) means, particularly in contrast with (c).
The whole point in allowing both is that in some contexts X-Y works
better with naive matching, and in some contexts Y works better.

I assume that this proposal is still in the context of only allowing a
small number of macrolanguages (plus 'sgn') as Xs in X-Y?
