4.4.0 breaks regexes in debug.enable() on purpose (but it was documented since ever)

[ibc]

Under the rationale that "it was never supported nor documented" (let's talk about this later), version 4.4.0 explicitly breaks the ability to pass regular expressions to debug.enable() function, which is a complete headache for me since I heavily rely on that feature for dynamic logging.

And not just for dynamic logging but also for making debug works in browser Worklets. Worklets cannot read localStorage from the browser so the only way to enable debug logging on them is by explicitly calling debug.enable(namespaces). And of course those namespaces are passed to those Worklets via internal message from the main browser JS application which of course reads them from localStorage.getItem('debug') which of course contains regular expressions because that's how debug library has always supposed to work, but since 4.4.0 this is no longer possible because those regexes only work when debug library reads the namespaces from localStorage.

With all respect, the rationale saying "it was never supported nor documented" is not very pleasant. The docs literally say (and have always said):

Set dynamically
You can also enable debug dynamically by calling the enable() method

Notice the "you can also". Where exactly should I assume that I can enable debug dynamically but without regexes? To be clear: The docs say today and the docs have always said that debug.enable() accepts wildcards:

So this is a total breaking change that makes debug library lose one of its nicest features while the docs still say that such a feature is present and the rationale for removing that feature is that "it was never documented". Well, it was.

Can I please ask this great library authors to restore this super useful feature?
