Use best chunk version even if less than required number of matches found #456

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

This is a feature suggestion (didn't find where to set the issue type).

Currenty (0.6.0), when the user sets a higher number of required matches than 2 
and RubyRipper fails to find enough matching chunks, the version from the first 
try is used (if I'm reading the sources correctly) even if some later tries 
delivered versions with more matches.

In effect, this means that setting required matches to e.g. 3 can provide a 
worse result than setting required matches to e.g. 2, since those chunks that 
were matched two times will not be used in places where three matches were not 
found.
