Not true! Perhaps you didn't read (or at least quote) the rest of my

would be applied against any file matching the modified
include/exclude statement to determine whether or not to indeed add it
to the new file list. No conditional would be applied if you just
wanted to use the standard include/exclude logic.

OK, sounds possible.  What is the use case?


I for one would be interested in the case  where large files are open and being appended to for days at at time. I would like to exclude files based on a combination of size and age.
For example...
