Trying to figure out a good syntax for kanshi to match any number of additional outputs. For instance :

profile {
output eDP-1 scale 2
output HDMI-A-1 transform 90
<accept any number of additional outputs>
}

It's come up a few times recently in Sway and cage issue trackers.

Some thoughts here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/emersion/kanshi/-/issues/11#note_3254305

Add a fallback command to match any number of outputs.
