Hi Ian,
    In this patch I saw the parsing of expression with '+number		[0-9]*\.?[0-9]+' 
Could you please explain why '?' is introduced here, so that I can be sure that this is
not conflicting with my change to add '?'

In this patch : https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/1/1427
I have used '?' symbol as part of metric expression in order to replace '?' with runtime
parameter. 

Thanks,
Kajol Jain
