I like the regex idea but wildcard (*) does not work well due to common shell expansion (or it already works but it is outside of maven scope to be concrete).
My 2cts would be that, to be honest, I think we all lead to have aliases in maven for potentially very long commands (there was some threads about it), CLI then just needs to enable to activate/deactivate things, not to be clever and it would enable all combination without any behavior change nor new option IMHO. Concretely "mvn alias:bd" would run "mvn -pl foo/bar -pl foo/dummy" for example. Thinking out loud it can be done with a plugin already so can maybe give a try if it sounds like a good idea for others too.
