Good day,

I suppose, although it seemed like an unexpected issue at first because it's 
not documented within ?lowlevel-matching so users don't know what to expect.

This reveals a discrepancy between the documentation and the way the function 
operates. In the documentation, the function definition of vmatchPattern has 
with.indels = FALSE in it. However, changing it to TRUE results in

Error in .XStringSet.vmatchPattern(pattern, subject, max.mismatch, 
min.mismatch,  : 
  vmatchPattern() does not support indels yet

This is utilising Biostrings 2.42.0 in R 3.3.1.
