Is this a feature or a bug fix?  I'd say it's more of a bug fix, since
multiple -t switches seems like an obvious thing to support.  Now, if we
were adding wild card matching that would seem like an enhancement.  I
can't imagine this patch is more than a dozen lines or so.  And I can't
imagine it impacting anything else going on right now.
