While reading the description of the --info flag, it's not
immediately obvious that the "finder info" is in fact the
UI element representing the match counters.
Favors the line with shorter matched chunk. A chunk is a set of
consecutive non-whitespace characters.
Unlike the default `length`, this new scheme works well with tabular input.
# length prefers item #1, because the whole line is shorter,
# chunk prefers item #2, because the matched chunk ("foo") is shorter
fzf --height=6 --header-lines=2 --tiebreak=chunk --reverse --query=fo << "EOF"
N | Field1 | Field2 | Field3
- | ------ | ------ | ------
1 | hello | foobar | baz
2 | world | foo | bazbaz
EOF
If the input does not contain any spaces, `chunk` is equivalent to
`length`. But we're not going to set it as the default because it is
computationally more expensive.

- Not the exact solution to --tiebreak=length not taking --nth into account,
but this should work. And the added benefit is that it works well even
when --nth is not provided.
- Adding a bonus point to the last character of a word didn't turn out great.
The order of the result suddenly changes when you type in the last
character in the word producing a jarring effect.
So you can "rotate" through the different options with a single binding.
fzf --preview 'cat {}' \
--bind 'ctrl-/:change-preview-window(70%|down,40%,border-horizontal|hidden|)'

The new actions are named with 'change-' prefix to differentiate from
the pre-existing, one-off 'preview(...)' action.
