Currently you can have expanded variables in trigger fields, which is useful for something like this:

setvariable "mob", "butterfly"

trigger match on @mob$ and colour text magenta

but what about expanding it to make the regular expression accept patterns, so that one could do something more versatile like this...

setvariable "mob", "honeybee|bumblebee|mosquito|"

trigger match on (?:@mob)$ and colour text magenta

Match: @!mob
