    Description

      I have dozens of databases with a given prefix, and I want to take a mysqldump of all of them.

      It should be as simple as something like this:
      $ mysqldump -u whatever -p --databases prefix_*

      but there is no support for wildcards.

      The workaround is:
      https://serverfault.com/questions/442889/wildcard-backup-mysql-databases

      This is a very likely use case and should be implemented.
