Feature description

support wildcards for just namespaces, or just nodes

/**:
    ros__parameters:
        applies_to_all_nodes_in_all_namespaces: true

would be nice also to have

some_namespace:
    *:
        ros__parameters:
            applies_to_all_nodes_in_particular_namespace: true

and

/*:
    some_node:
        ros__parameters:
            applies_to_particular_node_in_all_namespaces: true

is there a way currently to achieve this?

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing rclcpp’s existing YAML parameter namespace and node matching, then review the three example patterns; done means the requested namespace-only, node-only, and combined wildcard cases have defined behavior and test coverage.
