There was a problem hiding this comment.
Can you turn starts_for_each_pattern into links for hybrid::dfa::Config::starts_for_each_pattern and dfa::dense::Config::starts_for_each_pattern? The visible text should include that path too for each, so that it isn't ambiguous when reading it.

Closes #1262.
This expands the MatchErrorKind::UnsupportedAnchored rustdoc with the common Anchored::Pattern failure mode for DFA engines built without per-pattern anchored start states, and points readers at starts_for_each_pattern.
