Wildcard support in Filters

[uNderdog101]

Would it be possible to add asterisk wildcard support in the filters, so single filters could be much more versatile and you wouldn't need as many?

Currently, if you wanted to filter out, say, "#escort", you'd have to add that, but "#escorts" would slip by without an second filter, and "#escortNY" would bypass those filters, needing two more, but "#NYescort" would bypass those four, requiring another two, then in comes "#escortLA"... you see where I'm going with this, right?

Being able to use wildcards to filter out "#*escort*" would reduce all those filter entries down to one.

I apologize for using sexworkers in my analogy, but it wasn't actually an analogy, it's actually an issue I'm having right now with a lot of promos showing up in my timeline. I don't live in the U.S. so even if I were inclined to take them up on their offer, I'm unable to do so, so I'd like to filter them out without blocking all of Switter.

Is there any movement on this? I would love to see this implemented. There's certain hashtags for events that I want to filter out (example: BSides) but every year it seems the hashtag changes with a new subtitle, year, location, etc. Wildcards would solve this.
