> The current MQTT v3.1.1 wildcard syntax in a topic filter only allows the + wildcard as the only item in a level.  We have frequently had customers try to use this wildcard after some characters in a level.  The only way around this is to change the topic structure which is quite difficult for established applications.
> My proposal is to slightly relax the restriction in the wildcard syntax to say that the plus must be the last character at a level, but does not need to be the first.
> Thus we would allow something like:
>     my/x+/topic
