Can we explore how easy it would be to disable the Bowtie 2 option --no-discordant since this would allow dovetailing reads to align straight away. This would be very useful for PBAT-type runs that require clipping from their 5'-ends.

Having looked at this in some detail we decided not to drop --no-discordant because this would then all of a sudden start to report really weird alignments, e.g. reads facing away from each other or reads on different chromosomes. Instead we enabled the new option --dovetail (which will be turned on by default for --pbat libraries) which will now allow dovetailing reads to be reported:
--dovetail It is possible, though unusual, for the mates to 'dovetail', with the mates
seemingly extending 'past' each other as in this example:
Mate 1: GTCAGCTACGATATTGTTTGGGGTGACACATTACGC
Mate 2: TATGAGTCAGCTACGATATTGTTTGGGGTGACACAT
Reference: GCAGATTATATGAGTCAGCTACGATATTGTTTGGGGTGACACATTACGCGTCTTTGAC
By default, dovetailing is considered inconsistent with concordant alignment, but setting
--dovetail causes Bowtie 2 to consider dovetailing alignments as concordant. This becomes
relevant whenever reads are clipped from their 5' end prior to mapping, e.g. because of
quality or bias issues. --dovetail is set automatically for PBAT libraries.
