Specifically, it is only equivalent to `--count-matches` when the pattern(s) given can match over multiple lines. We could have instead made `--multiline --count` always equivalent to `--multiline --count-matches`, but this seems plausibly less useful. Indeed, I think it's generally a good thing that users can enable `-U/--multiline` but still use patterns that only match a single line. Changing how that behaves would I think be more surprising. Either way we slice this, it's unfortunately pretty subtle. Fixes #2852
