I don't think so, thanks. I had thought that it would add implementation
complexity and wasn't as obviously useful as supporting top-level and array
elements values. However I realized that matchAnnoToTree can be generalized
to search recursively for values, so it ends up being simpler. And as you
point out, it offers the best flexibility.

I have uploaded a new version of the patch that searches recursively:
