pagegenerators: titleregex should filter other generators
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently -titleregex creates a gen that filters allpages starting from "!".
It should be a filter instead (like -grep on page body), so it could be applied to the other generators as well.
Current functionality would be obtained using -start:! -titleregex:my_regex.

-start could also default to ! if nothing is specified, instead of asking for a page as today, to make it simpler.
