+* `REGEX_ROUTING` : This transformation lets users set an output field to
one of a set of possibilities based on matching regexes. This has functional
overlap with Stellar match statements, but the syntax is more bearable for
large sets of conditionals.

Yeah, that was wrong of me. I had a bad night, when I wrote that. My bad.
Will correct right away. `match` is and continues to be awesome. :)

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Casey Stella
> Priority: Major
>
> A relatively common pattern is to choose the value of a field based on if
> another field matches a set of regexes. This can be done via stellar with
> match, but if the list of possible regexes are large, that can be unwieldy.
> To ease that burden, we should have a REGEX_ROUTING field transformation.
