title: Beautiful Soup Using Regex to Find Tags?
body: <p>I'd really like to be able to allow Beautiful Soup to match any list of tags, like so. I know attr accepts regex, but is there anything in beautiful soup that allows you to do so?</p>
  
  <pre><code>soup.findAll("(a|div)")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a&gt; ASDFS
  &lt;div&gt; asdfasdf
  &lt;a&gt; asdfsdf
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My goal is to create a scraper that can grab tables from sites. Sometimes tags are named inconsistently, and I'd like to be able to input a list of tags to name the 'data' part of a table. </p>
