------------------------------------
hi, I didn't really think it through but my first idea was to use regex in both
the directory path and in the filename to avoid the confusion because of the
mixed usage. Although I don't know yet whether it has any drawbacks, that's why
I'm interested in your and others' opinion.

> In our log management project, we wan't to track many log files like this:
> /app/dir1/log.*
> /app/dir2/log.*
> ...
> /app/dirn/log.*
> But TaildirSource can't support wildcards in filegroup directory name. The
> following config is expected:
> a1.sources.r1.filegroups.fg = /app/\*/log.*
