lua

I use version 3.3.4 of awesome and it is fine. But I miss one thing I could do with an older version of awesome (without configuration via Lua): I could add a matcher with the regexp .* to add all windows without another tag to a specific tag:

rule { name = ".*" tags = "9" }

With that all applications I didn't made another rule for were added to tag 9. How can I do something similar with configuration in rc.lua?
