As Konstantin pointed out, all that stuff is in the "Mapper" (which is
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.mapper.Mapper).

I would say that using an <AliasMatch> would be a good idea because a)
it mirrors httpd-style configuration where <Foo> does exact matches
while <FooMatch> allows regular expressions, etc. and b) it shouldn't
diminish performance of the existing <Alias> code -- that is, you only
pay for it if you need it.

Steffen, care to log an enhancement request in bugzilla?
