Why is this necessary?  (Assuming it is, it could use a comment, and
probably an update to the docstring.)

Unintentional?

Two minor performance nits: Using nconc instead of append will avoid
copying the first list and swapping the two arguments will avoid
needlessly traversing the non-matching list when only-matching is nil.
