Currently, to write a CSV Schema, we need to know exactly what are the column names and list them all in the CSV Schema file.

Do we have plan to support wild card?

Example:
Suppose the CSV file contains columns from phone_1 to phone_10, all the column definitions are same for the 10 columns. Currently, we need to repeatedly define phone_x definitions 10 times, which is not efficient and not easy to maintain.

With wild card grouping, we only need to define once.

See digital-preservation/csv-schema#13 - this has been suggested by another user, but we don't have resource to implement at the moment.
