Add support for string patterns

The string patterns are more complex than what the built-in Lua pattern matching system can support. Is it worth the time to implement somehow?

How do they compare to regexes?

The Lua pattern matching system resembles regex quite a lot bit its quite a bit simpler. I've seen some of the regex patterns in the AWS SDK API specs that would be hard (impossible?) to port to Lua patterns.

I was asking about Amazon string patterns, how do they compare to regexes (are they regexes)?

Oh, ok. I believe they are normal regexes. I could have sworn that I had read some API docs mentioning which specific regex flavour it is but now I can't find it...

At least these two look like standard regexes:
