Feature request: output which pattern matched

[mhlakhani]

I'm using a comby template with multiple pattern in a TOML file. When I try to print matches with e.g.

comby -config ~/tmp/comby/rules.toml -f .proto -matcher .generic -json-lines -match-only | jq

I get multiple matches (as expected) but there's no easy programmatic way to see which pattern matched. Would it be possible to include that in the output?

It's not hard to work around (for my use case I can run it multiple times, one rule at a time), so this is more of a minor request.

Hi! To clarify, is it that, for multiple rules, you would like to see which rule name/pattern matched for a given result? E.g., in the JSON, I might add something like "rule": <name> ?

That's exactly what I was looking for, yeah -- thanks!
