You're absolutely right. This keyword doesn't run because it is reserved. The good news is that I can change the API because, obviously, nobody use this keyword :) I agree, the solution "a" is ugly, but it is working now. I dont like the solution "b", because the form of the word is different than other. Maybe "suffix" in place of "end", but I prefer the same word that the word used in haproxy configs. I think that I will rename all the match keywords with the prefix "match_", and keep the old names available, but undocumented for the backward compatibility. All the ideas are welcome.
