The inversion of the polarity from the original here is a nice
touch.  We no longer have to look at deeply indented block to tell
immediately that nothing will happen when the configuration variable
is not set.

The name "is_match" somehow feels a bit awkward.  How about calling
it 

    *matches = true/false;

instead?
