      The v1.0 standard does not include a way to specify string "patterns", or substrings to match, for VariableExpressionType. The additional flexibility offered by such a capability (beyond static strings or fixed variable values) would enable more flexible string matching for deployment operations, which could extend and simplify those operations.
