Sorry about that. This recent commit on master caught me off guard:

  commit 3b7b181bded1bddb2505eda1224a5631cbf04c1b

  Use string-search instead of string-match[-p]

I have a CI rebaser job set up, but it only runs once a day. Let me do
this one manually. Can you maybe check again in a few hours? I'd also
like to incorporate some churn related to the eql specializer change.
Thanks.
