So this feature is in, with a '-t' flag to indicate partial matching.
Apparently 't' is for 'tree'. I think '-p' for partial/prefix is more
intuitive, and Dave things a simple '*' at the end of the OID is best. So, I'm
looking for a preferred ordering from as many people as possible. I'll start:

-p
-t
oid.*


I don't like setting the precedent of allowing '*' in OIDs... If we were to do
such a thing, why not go whole hog and allow vacm style masks?
