Use cases for `@includes` and `@matches` in scripts.

[Sxderp]

I posted a request on the usersScript API bugzilla about adjusting how @include and @match work (allow "OR") and they've asked for additional information regarding use cases. I suspect the majority of use cases, where both are used, have to do with the ability to use RegExp in @include but nevertheless, it would be great if some sort of details or statics could be provided on how scripts are currently using the fields. Any additional input is appreciated.

So you're looking for scripts that use both @include and @match?

[Sxderp]

That is correct.

There are hundreds that do that. Here's 50 of them:

Hey, thanks a lot. It's actually fairly interesting that none of the linked scripts actually utilize any of the features of @include. Instead they just duplicate @match.

You may want to try asking on https://greasyfork.org/forum/ to see if any the experts have an opinion.
