For X-Y-Z (Z being some string) and Y-Z, then X-Y-Z and Y-Z is always a match, but (c) whether X-Z and Y-Z are matched is a separate matter.

That choice is left open. Part of what I was saying is that I think there's less potential need to consider cherry picking in that particular regard for #3 than there is for #1 or #2: since X-Y and Y equivalence would be guaranteed, then there really isn't a need to say up front that only a small set of macrolanguages are candidates for X.
