Exactly.
A case I can think of---perhaps not convincing?---for regular expression of drawer names is a file with many pasted in, lengthy notes or data sets. So as to be able to distinguish them without opening them, one might wish to title them:
:DATA-PROFILE1:
:DATA-PROFILE2X:
:DATA-TRANSECT_A:
:DATA-SALINITY-2008-04-29:
An extremely simple regular expression would be "DATA.*" . One can argue, convincingly, that each data set would best be stored in a file, and could be linked to.
I did have two sets of calendars from 1984 and 1985 that were not huge, but were in the way. I can as easily entitle each with a headline, then brace them in :CACHE: drawers.
You have convinced me, but I hope I would not bore you by asking you for comments about this.
Thank you very much for your helpful answer, verifying what I suspected from experiments.
Alan
