Hello Marc,
I am sorry, but from what you wrote below, I really am not sure what you like
and what you do not like.
There are two things that need to be decided separately:
1. Where to place the directive
- Options section
- Include section
- Exclude section
2. The name of the option.
The name of the directive clearly can be different depending on the section it
goes in.
Note: the current code that is implemented is probably not suitable to go in
the Options section. I would need to examine this in more detail to be sure.
Regards,
Kern
