name-pattern — the Name Pattern notation for `mops find root-by-name`.

A name pattern matches a root node by its node name, using the same matcher as
MPS's Go-to-Node navigation. The whole pattern is treated as one name; it is
never split on dots or other separators. Matching is case-insensitive, and the
pattern matches anywhere within a name, not only at its start.

SYNTAX
  abc        A run of letters matches those letters in order, allowing extra
             characters between them at word boundaries (camel-hump matching).
             `jo` and `json` both match JsonObject.

  CamelHump  Upper-case letters anchor to word starts. `JO` matches JsonObject
             and JsonArray-style names by their humps; `JN` matches JsonNumber
             and JsonNull.

  *          Wildcard for any run of characters. `Json*Type` matches
             JsonNumberDatatype.

  <trailing  A trailing space anchors the end of the name, so `JsonNull ` (with
   space>    the space) matches JsonNull but not JsonNullable.

RANKING
  Results are ordered best match first: prefix and contiguous matches rank
  above scattered middle matches. Use --limit to bound the result count.

SCOPE
  root-by-name searches root nodes in editable project sources by default.
  Append an `in <segment>...` clause to search a module, a model, or the whole
  repository (`in /`) exhaustively. See `mops explain scope`.

EXAMPLE
  mops find root-by-name Json
  mops find root-by-name 'Json*Type'
  mops find root-by-name Concept in /
  mops find root-by-name --limit 10 Concept in com.specificlanguages.json
