The list of functions returned can be customized based on the pattern.

It can be an exact match:

include-tagged::{sql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[showFunctionsLikeExact]

A wildcard for exactly one character:
["source","sql",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
----
include-tagged::{sql-specs}/docs.csv-spec[showFunctionsLikeChar]
----

A wildcard matching zero or more characters:
["source","sql",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]

Or of course, a variation of the above:
