Difficulty with wildcards in serviceescalation

[Ivan Fetch]

Hello,

    Andrew, I wanted to thank you for your reply, and mention that yes this 
does work as I wanted.

    I am curious what setting use_regexp_matching to 1, but 
use_true_regexp_matching to 0 would bring to the table (given that the 
docs apparently mis-state these options).


Thanks - Ivan.
