[Buildbot-devel] [status/web/waterfall.py] rfc: Allow filtering of categories by regular expression

[Dan Kegel]

I've been encoding platform name and project name in
the builder category, and needed a way to slice the
waterfall either by project or platform, so I added a
two-line hack to allow filtering categories by regular expression.

Here's a somewhat cleaned up version of my hack.
Does this sound like a feature buildbot would want?

I'd happily update the patch to also document the feature.
(Also, if there's a more python-y way of checking for a
match against a set of regular expressions, I'd love to
hear it.  I'm not yet fluent in python.)
