The `rbe` node always handles topics separately, whereas this is configurable for the `trigger` node - you can specify to handle all messages, or each `msg.topic` independently. This is a nice feature that would be helpful on the `rbe` node, particularly when working with MQTT-in. At the moment I keep needing to move the topic off elsewhere to get the equivalent of handling all messages. Thoughts?

Not an unreasonable idea, and a good one for someone who wanted to make their first contribution/pull request to have a go at.

Count me in - although with Christmas looming, time may be scarce.
