Are globs or regular expressions supported in logger names in config files?

Hi everyone,

I have many logger names following some naming convention like in the following examples:

* org.example.unique_phrase.foo
* org.example.unique_phrase.bar
* org.example.foo.unique_phrase.bar
* org.example.bar.unique_phrase.foo

The goal is to configure one file appender for all packages/logger names containing "unique_phrase". At the same time I would like to keep the possibility for more fine grained configs with possible different appenders for different packages of the above example. The only solution I know of is really configuring all individual (parent) logger names/packages with the same appender. Would be easier if logger names would support some concept of globs or regular expressions, so one might only use something like the following name:

* org.example.*.unique_phrase.*

Is something like that possible, either out-of-the-box or possibly some plugin or ...? Thanks!
