Need to think about its interaction with filesGlob

People have expressed desire to still have filesGlob so I'll wait on this for a while

It seemed that the only reason the TypeScript team went with exclude is that they didn't want to take a dependency on a glob matcher library. It would be a shame to lose this great functionality. I hope filesGlob doesn't have to go away when exclude support is implemented.

I strongly agree with everyone who likes filesGlob. Even though excludes gives you some of the power, you may want to exclude all TS files in a certain folder and not list them manually. This might be the case if you have copies of a dependency which is subject to change.

Updated issue accordingly 🌹 filesGlob will stay

I'm very glad to hear that 👍

Up for grabs

Implementor guidance

Source code needs to go here : tsconfig.ts

For guidance one can use the work done here. Basically add the excludes to the pseudo filesGlob.
