To my view, this behavior of File::Find is going against DWIM and is certainly
LTA. Anyway, what you you probably is looking for is something like
exclude => { $_ ~~ any(@exclude) }
BTW, the only thing File::Find needs to work with junctions is to declare
:$exclude as Mu. In this case the call to find will not be auto-threaded.
