> Currently, the {{--topic}} option in kafka-topics.sh serves dual purposes -
> it accepts both literal topic names and regex patterns, which causes
> ambiguity and usability issues. This is particularly problematic for topic
> names containing dots (.) and other regex metacharacters.
> *Implementation Plan:*
> # 4.x: Introduce the new regex option and deprecate regex usage in
> {{--topic}}
> # 5.x: Remove regex functionality from {{--topic}} option entirely
> This improvement could also be extended to all other scripts that support
> regex patterns for consistency.
