as you already noticed, the desired functionality can be achieved with 2 separate objects, one for deleting one for finding. in general i would think twice to implement any object that "combines" rather than implementing the different parts and let the user combine.
With the object, yes, but with the canvas methods I'm not sure the logic applies, as they would give the user a much easier way to design dynamic patches that cannot be implemented by a solution using separate classes.
But the difficulty of parsing the A_GIMME for something like "connectany" may make this a theoretical rather than practical distinction.
