What about `max-matches'? I did like `max-matches-length' until i read
what `max-matches-width' does. Knowing that, i would personally expect
m-m-length to do something related to m-m-width.

I fixed _dates to allow single digit percentages too.

I also don't know understand what the _next_tags stuff in _dates is doing
So i didn't cargo cult it, do you mind explaining?
