A set of fail strings would be useful, it's something no-one else does but it vital for a good user experience.

Multiple matches is planned for a future release.

How would you recommend generating fail string? The space of failing strings is really large. From my discussions with users, they usually have a specific failed string and they want to see why it doesn't work.
