New Feature Request - Scan on subset of Patterns from a Compiled Database

[simpleyetawesomeprojects]

I have Compiled a Pattern Database for all of the patterns (say p1,p2,p3...pN)

I want to scan for a subset of patterns say p1,p3. Currently, this is possible only by Compiling another Database with p1 and p3. However, I would want to use the "Global" compiled database and scan for selective patterns from this.

This feature would be a great addition.

we have a use case for this as well since compilation is so expensive (memory + cpu) but we only want to run a configurable subset of regexes on millions of content blobs. Currently we have to skip unwanted matches at a higher level
