Good to see that there is continuing interest in this feature.

IMO, the implementation here is more elegant and readable for it's use
of `fold-matches'.  The first implementation from the thread you
mention effectively rolls it's own version of `fold-matches' over the
result of `list-matches' (which is implemented using `fold-matches'
!).
