Question:

can the ‘^’ wildcard also be used in the keys instead of the values? Like:

array(
  'key'	     => 'name_^',
  'compare'  => 'REGEXP'
)

…to retrieve valueas of all fields that start with ‘name_’ and then something.
Like: ‘name_123’, ‘name_abc’, ‘name_strawberries’ etc.

Or can/should I do that in the ‘meta_key’ value, like:
'meta_key' => 'name_^',

Thanks in advance for your reply!
