Summary	0002151: Multi-file targeting
Description	Allow opcodes to target multiple-files at once, using wildcards. Currently the engine is working on a file-by-file basis. The right approach may be to do it on a file-by-file basis, and then if multiple files share any particular operation, and those files can be covered via a minimised wildcard that doesn't cover any files where applying the operation would make unwanted changes, to merge the operation into a single file-wildcarded operation.
Additional Information	It is easy to imagine cases where string replaces are happening across all files, or .css, or .tpl. To make things tractable, we perhaps limit ourselves only to these basic wildcards (i.e. global, or per file-type). I have not assigned this, as I don't think it is important enough for us to consider, and it's a bit complex.
Tags	No tags attached.
