This is one reason why I didn't like the Log:: prefix. This also implies
that my Regexp::Log suite of modules is badly named as well.

Set operations? Good idea. If the field is a string and the set is a set
of strings, computing a regular expression with Regexp::Assemble might
be a good option as well.
And then, caching the generated code (e.g. because Regexp::Assemble takes
some time to run) could be a bonus.
