[jQuery] Jquery and using regex in selectors

How about allowing regex in jquery selectors?
For instance $("input[name="*name"])
to select
<input name="firstname">
<input name="lastname">
Typically in forms, most of the components are bundles. Like Names, Addresses, etc. One use case that I could think of is setting validators on all these fields would be easier with support for regex.<br clear="all">
