I have a preference to allow at least exact matches to succeed even in the case of ambiguity - mainly because I accidentally created this already once, and I feel it's better to at least work somewhat. Not sure if there is any more elegant solution. OTOH, I feel this is somewhat inelegant, as it appears to treat exact match as a special case.

Surely an exact match is a special case - it's an exact match!
