We could use a * or the blank for a catchall

But I think we can have this even shorter:

'ds_pointerfield' => 'list_type,CType',
'ds' => array(
	'auxdataviewer_pi1' => 'FILE:EXT:auxdataviewer/pi1/flex.xml',
  	'*,table' => 'FILE:EXT:csc/flex.xml',
  	'tt_address_pi1,list' => 'FILE:EXT:.../...xml',
  ),
