Is there a way to include all the __L_LOANS_BODY* rules using a wildcard in
the meta rule?  It is cumbersome when I want to add a new rule to have to go
and add it to the meta rule as well, not to mention making that rule line
very long!  (ie, something like __L_LOANS_BODY* > 3)

Put another way, I'd like to be able to add a new __L_LOANS_BODY rule and
have the meta rule automatically incorporate it.  Is this possible?

Not within SA, and as Kevin said, I doubt it will ever be added.

If you're doing this regularly I'd suggest writing a small shell script or perl script to process a definition file to generate the rules. For example, your source could be a text file having one RE per line, and the script could read that, generate subrule names, and compose the meta rule based on how many REs were present.
