I don't see in the emacs functions anything like
"visit-all-the-buffers-matching-this-regexp".
It would be useful sometimes, now I use something like this in the git
projects
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun open-git-files ()
"Visit all the files in the current git project"
(interactive)
(dolist
(file (split-string (shell-command-to-string "git ls-files")))
(message "Opening %s" file)
(find-file file)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But it opens too much often.
Something that
- ask for a regexp
- visit all the buffers
- automatically set up a guessed best way to place them on the frame (or
maybe creates a new elscreen for each one for example)
Is there anything like this somewhere?

Here are two possibilities:
1. Ibuffer: `% n rgx RET v' where rgx is your regexp.
`% n' marks regexp matches. `v' visits.
2. Icicles: `C-x b rgx S-TAB C-!' where rgx is your regexp.
`S-TAB' regexp-completes.
`C-!' acts on each of the completion candidates.
The action in this case is `C-x b': visit a buffer.

Not a regexp, but wildcard patterns:
C-x C-f *.c RET

Here's a third possibility: using Dired, mark according to a regexp
% m regexp RET
then open (find) those marked files using `F'.

That works only for files, not buffers unassociated with a file.
That's why I mentioned Ibuffer (though I don't use Ibuffer myself).
It is similar to the Dired approach, but for buffers, not files.
