Go figure :-( However, it would still be better to have two explicit checks than a single prefix, because there's nothing to prevent $2b$ from being another variant, only an incompatible one. I.e., I would feel uncomfortable matching only $2, and instead would rather see two checks, one for $2$ and one for $2a$.
