This is an idea I came up with that would help reduce the amount of "*-all" autoload folders that Woof would need to add. Basically, if a folder is named a certain way and contains a character designated as a "placeholder" for any sequence of characters it would load the files in that autoload folder when one or more WADs matching that pattern is loaded. For example: If you create a folder named something like "chex3.-match" it would autoload for both chex3v.wad and chex3d2.wad, since they both begin with "chex3" in their filenames. It would also also be useful for WADs with multiple releases that have a version suffix in their filenames, so for example you could use "SIGIL_v.-match" to autoload for any version of Sigil as opposed to just 1.21.

I'm currently assuming these types of folders would have to end in "-match" and use a "." as the placeholder character. And of course, Woof probably can't create these automatically so the user might have to be expected to create the folders themself.
