Subreddit restriction is not an exact name match and includes subreddits with a superset of that name

This appears to be an issue with the API itself rather than PMAW. PMAW can only reflect what's returned by Pushshift. There's a similar issue with searches by author.

My bad, I even used a link to the API itself as an example of the issue! This issue first arose when using pmaw, so I must've opened the issue here first. Just created an issue in the Pushshift repo itself.

If Pushshift doesn't fix this issue, I wonder if it'd make since for pmaw to implement filtering to get an exact word match?

Here is the issue in the Pushift repo: pushshift/api#144
