missing config info for pattern based symbols in readme

[adelarsq]

For some reason the config:

let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesExtensionSymbols['js'] = 'a'

Don't work for files with name like jquery-1.7.1.js, jquery-1.7.1.min.js, jquery.min.js or jquery.js, but works for jquery.js:

Configs:

let g:webdevicons_enable = 1
let g:webdevicons_enable_nerdtree = 1
let g:WebDevIconsNerdTreeAfterGlyphPadding = ' '
if !has("gui_running")
    if has("win32")
        let g:webdevicons_enable = 0
    endif
endif
if g:sysop == "mac"
    vim let g:WebDevIconsOS = 'Darwin'
endif
silent! if emoji#available()
    let g:webdevicons_conceal_nerdtree_brackets = 1
    let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeGlyphDoubleWidth = 1
    let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFolderNodes = 1
    let g:DevIconsEnableFoldersOpenClose = 1
    let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesExtensionSymbols = {}
    let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesExtensionSymbols['js'] = 'a'
endif

There is an undocumented config that did solve the problem:

let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesPatternSymbols = {}
let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesPatternSymbols['.*jquery.*\.js$'] = 'a'
let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesPatternSymbols['.*angular.*\.js$'] = 'a'
let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesPatternSymbols['.*backbone.*\.js$'] = 'a'  
let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesPatternSymbols['.*require.*\.js$'] = 'a'   
let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesPatternSymbols['.*materialize.*\.js$'] = 'a'
let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesPatternSymbols['.*materialize.*\.css$'] = 'a'
let g:WebDevIconsUnicodeDecorateFileNodesPatternSymbols['.*mootools.*\.js$'] = 'a' 

With some time I will create a pull request for this.

Thanks that makes sense. The configuration is mentioned on the readme but you are right in that it doesn't exactly show very well how to use it. 👍

Just went through this again and yes the pattern matches take precedence over the file extensions (which is probably what we want) but you are right in that the readme is missing the information for the option.
