Description

Describe the bug

Current search for textobjects is too slow and could be more flexible (counts, textobjects in same line).

Solution

Avoid iter_prepared_matches in find_best_match. Use find_best_matches to allow the use of v:count

Research direction

Locate find_best_match and compare its use of iter_prepared_matches with find_best_matches; start by reading how textobject searches and v:count are handled. Done means the search is faster and supports counts and multiple textobjects on the same line without using iter_prepared_matches in find_best_match.
