This is spelled

/review discussion match foo

where foo is a MOO regular expression.

since you mention http specifically...

/review discussion url

will grab anything that looks like a url and format it to make CNP easy.

/review disc1,disc2,disc3,...,discN <options>

now works for N<=20. (to support an arbitrary size, we'd need to completely redo
the way review is stored.)

This isn't done. If you reeeeally want this, please resubmit it as a separate
bug.
