Is it possible to allow a combined word where the single word is not allowed?

Hi,

thanks for this amazing tool!

In one project we do not allow dummy, but there is a reference to a class in an external library named _DummyTransport.

Is it possible to configure _DummyTransport as an exception in the configuration file rather than doing an inline/next line exemption?

Thank you!

Background

Either it looks like this, where I additionally need to ignore exceeding line length (E501):

# For SFTP connections, 'transport' is actually a _DummyTransport  # wokeignore:rule=dummy  # noqa: E501
# instance. Neither _DummyTransport nor the protocol it wraps  # wokeignore:rule=dummy  # noqa: E501
# (filetransfer.FileTransferServer) support pausing.

or I need to add the next line ignore every other line which makes the comment harder to read:

# wokeignore:rule=dummy
# For SFTP connections, 'transport' is actually a _DummyTransport
# wokeignore:rule=dummy
# instance. Neither _DummyTransport nor the protocol it wraps
# (filetransfer.FileTransferServer) support pausing.

Yes! You can do this by setting the word_boundary_end parameter to true for a rule. See the following link:

https://docs.getwoke.tech/rules/

With this set to true, a word like _DummyTransport would not be matched, while Dummy by itself would be. Also TheDummy would be matched as well - to only get Dummy by itself use word_boundary to specify both the start and end boundaries.

However - if this doesn't work for you, if you want only _DummyTransport to be excluded but other compound words be included then unfortunately that doesn't exist yet. I have a pull request for regular expression functionality that would do this, but I need to do a bit more work before that is supported. Hopefully soon though 🙂

@cognitivegears How about excluding dummy but allowing for dummy-devices? The word_boundary parameter doesn't seem to do the trick here, even though the hyphen - is an ASCII character...
