Add RegEx to the path filtering

[yk-jemmic]

It would be very useful to apply a regular expression to filter paths

Here is an example:

Having the json bellow how to get all the "name"s of "Bank"s? :

{
  "baseItem1": {
    "subItem1Bank": {
      "name": "ABC"
    },
    "subItem2Bank": {
      "name": "ING"
    },
    "subItem3Bank": {
      "name": "JPMorgan"
    }
  },
  "baseItem2": {
    "subItem1Company": {
      "name": "Apple"
    },
    "subItem2Company": {
      "name": "Intel"
    }
  },
  "baseItem3": {}
}

I wish one of these expressions could work:
$..['/.*Bank/'].name
$..[?('/.*Bank/')].name
$..[?(@.key() =~ '/.*Bank/')].name

and as a result
[ "ABC", "ING", "JPMorgan"]

I just wrote about this in the jsonpath RFC repo.
