I think that it is not so uncommon to determine the node classification based
on node name. With thousands of computers being able to define a range of nodes
like this :
<pre>
node 'cors[003-127]' inherits compute {}
</pre>
could be really useful and using an external tool to classified them, make the
configuration be a bite more complex and spread.

Feature #286: Support wildmat/regex matches
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/286
Author: admin
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: luke
Category: language
Target version: unplanned
Complexity: Hard
Patch: None
Affected version: 0.24.4
Keywords:
Having wildmat/regex pattern matching for node, case, if, etc would be very
powerful.
Instead of assuming all strings are one type or another, one possibility would
be to assume strings without any meta-chars to be an exact match, those with
meta-chars to be interpreted wildmat (globbing), and those prefixed with "re:"
(or %r) to be interpreted as regex. This maintains compatibility without
surprises for those not using/familiar with regex.
wildmat/globbing looks cleaner for common cases (eg "node: farm*" for matching
all "farmXXX" hosts), but regex is more precise (thus i enjoy having both).
