[lxc-users] LXD - Feature - globbing lxc start/stop

[Bostjan Skufca]

The messy part comes at limiting where these patterns are valid and
where not. For example:

These are simple and logical:
# lxc-start      -n web-node-*
# lxc-stop      -n web-node-*
# lxc-destroy -n web-node-*

But these would be funky:
# lxc-create -n web-node-* -t ...
# lxc-clone   web-node-* web-node-14
