your regex if you mistyped it.

## Query level filters

Every [query](query.md) is automatically tagged with a logging span so that
you can display all log messages during the execution of the query. For
example, if you want to log everything during type checking:

```
RUSTC_LOG=[typeck]
```

The query key is included as a tracing field which means that you can filter
on the debug display of the key. For example, the `typeck` query has a `DefId`
of what is being checked. You can use a regex to match on that `DefId` to log
type checking for a specific function:

```
RUSTC_LOG=[typeck{key=.*name_of_item.*}]

The argument name (key) is not the same in all queries, maybe point to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/87fd70c107b23fe08336a12a20a0f5e85561d499/compiler/rustc_middle/src/query/mod.rs#L18 so that people can browse the list of queries and see their arguments?
