Well, the "easy" way would be if there was a special character which
repeated the previous pattern zero or more times. Like * in common
regular expressions.

The only people who would have their dial plan broken by that are people
who happen to use that particular character in an exten pattern today.
Depending on which character was picked, that is not necessarily a lot
of people.

Of course the non-easy part is actually implementing it.
