Thanks for the quick reaction/answers! TBH, I haven't fully understood why -N cannot be used here. I do understand that -N reduces the reactor to one project (before project selection via -pl can kick in). But what if -N wouldn't be applied if -pl is present? It would then become a "secondary" option, only applying to the projects selected or deselected via -pl.
However, the most flexible and fully backwards compatiple solution would indeed be something like -plr as suggested before. You could then also mix and match -pl and -plr. Btw, half offtopic: I proposed [1] to add ? to -pl and in that context I also thought about wildcard support for -pl, but Robert didn't like the idea. I'm just thinking whether -pl foo/* might be something that could help here as well, but it wouldn't be trivial to do, I suppose. PS: -help doesn't mention ! at all.
