Followup from #1981 (comment).
The documentation said
# E[tag]
meant the error must appear on exactly one of the tagged lines, but the implementation enforced at least one error instead. I think "exactly one" is usually the better choice, so I made it do that. However, in a few cases we do want "at least one". For example, with two mutually recursive type aliases, mypy errors on both and pyright only on the first. Both of those behaviors seem sensible, so I added a new syntax# E[tag+]
that means an error must appear on at least one of the tagged lines.Also added a section to the README explaining all the syntax.
