Matching multiple pages for exclude/include field

[eug-L]

Currently, excluding pages from the show/hide all feature is done using absolute path matching. This means users need to manually add each specific page URL they want to exclude.

What can this do that backdrop_match_path() cannot do?

For example, Matomo uses this function and I can easily have paths with wildcards in:
