Wildcards in Conditional Regions?

Do I need to hardcode every specific thing I want to exclude, or can I use a wildcard?

For example:

<?if:BEN_OPTION!='DC Opt 2'?>

<?if:BEN_OPTION!='DC Opt 3'?>

<?if:BEN_OPTION!='DC Opt 4'?>

<?if:BEN_OPTION!='DC Opt 5'?>

<?if:BEN_OPTION!='DC Opt 6'?>

Is there any way to just have something like:

<?if:BEN_OPTION! like 'DC'?>

I mean, it's not big deal I guess, but I'd obviously prefer to just use 'like' on the data field so I don't need to update the BI template if we add in another option.

Thoughts?
