What I did
Yet jmespath is powerful, there's still room for a improvement on string-based query.
In this PR, I added regex matcher, like Jayway's jsonpath do.
I believe this will bring greater power to query on complex data.
All I did is implementation, and is nothing to do with specs or docs.

Example
Given:
{ "sshd_configs": [ {"hostname": "bastion", "body": "Port 22\nPort 443\n#ListenAddress ::\n#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0\n"}, {"hostname": "web1", "body": "Port 22\nListenAddress 192.168.1.10\n"}, {"hostname": "web2", "body": "Port 22\n#ListenAddress 192.168.1.10\n"} ] }Then,
👉
["bastion"]or,
👉
["web1", "web2"]
