This one was on my ToDo list and had the following temp commit:
+(?i)allows to||allows _object_ to
+(?i)requires to||requires _object_ to
+(?i)helps to||helps _object_ to
+(?i)permits to||permits _object_ to
I don't remember why I wrote 'object' (now that I think about it should
probably be s/object/subject/)
Not sure if using '_subject_' on the correction would be understood by
everyone.
