IMHO, regexp is usually too complex and too powerful just for
filtering and the combination of wild cards are simple and enough. :)
Moreover, if you'd like to filter with regexp, you just can use
"| grep" or "| egrep". ;)
(Of course, it is possible to expand this filter to support regexp by simply
adding "~REGEXP" rule as ftrace does)
