REFARGSEXCLUDE *
It *is* mentioned in the documentation, but would be more obvious if you
were reading the whole of the documentation than if you were searching for
the specific topic - the relevant paragraph starts
" REFARGSINCLUDE and REFARGSEXCLUDE are the same for referrers. By
default, all arguments are included."
Unless you'd read the previous paragraph, which a quick glance would have
shown was not relevant itself (so you would probably stop reading!), it
wouldn't be particularly obvious (other than by guessing from the general
style of option names) that REFARGSxxx was what you needed.
This is a general "problem" with the Analog documentation (I don't have a
solution!) - there's a vast number of options, many of them forming groups
of related options applying to different reports. Full descriptions for each
would be very repetitive, but the current compromise (describe one and
indicate what related options are available with only brief comments) does
mean you cannot always search for relevant words and find them near the
option you need. My advice would be to look for an option that does the
right sort of thing even if it's e.g. for a different report, than look
(probably nearby) for details of an option with a similar name that applies
to the report you want to adjust!
