Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have an API that has a lot of endpoints, split into multiple apis. I just need models which name contain a specific prefix.
Describe the solution you'd like
A solution would be, to allow regular expressions in the csv that are used for selective generation.
Example: generate -Dmodels="/WP-.*/",LoremIpsumModel
Which would generate all models starting with WP- and the LoremIpsumModel.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Of course I could delete the unneeded generated files. This feature request is just a quality of life improvement.
Additional context
If there are other standards to express regex in cli-arguments, please let me know.

Research direction
Start by locating the CLI handling for the -Dmodels option and the selective-generation logic. Review how comma-separated model names are interpreted, then verify that a regular-expression selector and a literal model name both generate the expected models.
