+1

However, only a very tiny modification would be necessary for what you desire. Currently we use Basic Language Ranges for Prefix. Changing to Extended Language Range would do what you want:

Type: variant
Subtag: polyton
Prefix: *-Grek
Comments: This variant can also be applied to languages
   with a Suppress-Script of 'Grek'

Big -1. Introducing this kind of wildcard syntax into the Registry would be a highly effective way of reducing the number of conformant implementations.

If we relax the prefix check on variants, this works functionally too.

I think extensions are entirely the best way to handle this very specialized kind of language identification.
