linker:autoLink decorates too aggressively

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My page is on domain....

http://a.parentdomain.com/mypage.html

and i have
ga( 'linker:autoLink', ['domain.com', 'otherdomain.com'] );

and links going to
http://www.parentdomain.com/something.html

are going to be decorated.

removing 'domain.com' from autoLink seems to stop this.
i think 'domain.com' matches my longest current domain (a.parentdomain.com) 
ending with the same string

in that case you should use a Regular Expression for matching. analytics.js 
supports this, see the documentation

ok...
but imho regexp is too expensive as i have to configure 40 domains.

could be setting of ".domain.com" (initial dot) a good solution?
i dont have any naked domain (only tld+domain name)
