Very nice! I am very happy with that! Can I put it inside slackpkg
under "docs" directory? Or are you sending it to upstream?

You can create /some/path/to/FILE and, inside FILE put any acceptable
PATTERN there, separated by spaces:

root at kitt:~# cat /tmp/FILE
xorg glibc
d

If I run:

slackpkg reinstall /tmp/FILE

It will be the same of:

slackpkg reinstall xorg glibc d

Which will reinstall all packages with xorg[-something], glibc[-something]
and entire development (d) series.

This helps?

If needs anything else, feel free to contact me.
