[Alpine-info] Specify role's specific folder to match all sub-folders

[kludev]

Does this feature exist? I have a collection for my gmail account, I want
to set up a role to apply "Set FROM" and "Set SMTP" (and a few others), so
that as long as my current folder is in this collection, I can compose,
reply, forward using the corresponding account's SMTP.

Currently, I can only set up a role to specify individual folders (can be
multiple, or all of them). However as long as I added a new folder in
Gmail, the newly added folder won't trigger the role.

This is why I would like to have the aforementioned feature.

If not, I scratched a patch for this: One can specify a folder in the form
of `{some_server}somefolder*`, which will match the prefix to current open
folder. Wondering if it makes sense.
