Yes I could use that myself .. good idea.
It could be done with a while loop though.
Code:
alias wildtimer {
  var %i = 1
  while ($timer(%i)) {
    if ($1 iswm $timer(%i)) return $true
    inc %i
  }
  return $false
}

So your TEST alias would be
Code:
alias test if ($wildtimer(test[color:red]*[/color])) { commands }


But it would be nice for it to be added to $timer()
