Http::fake does not allow wildcards as parameters

[stephan-v]

It seems that Http::fake does not allow a wildcard as "route parameter". A wildcard only works at the end of the string.

An example:

Http::fake([
    '/accounts/*' => Http::response(), // This works fine.
    '/users/*/settings' => Http::response(), // This doesn't work.
])->baseUrl($url);

The route I want to mock in this example would be something like /users/8665/settings.

In this case where you would also want to mock a route like /users/8665/likes you can't just use /users/* to fix the example because this would then be applicable to both, which is unwanted. With nested routes it is pretty easy to run into this scenario.

Would there be a good reason not to allow this?

It would be cool, if this could make use of URI templates as introduced into Laravel 9 via #45982
