Just following up on this because I got a very useful reply from Holger which
explained that a variable can be used to hold a list of excludes, but noted
that doing so will break the ability to use the GUI. If the GUI is used to edit
a host's config after manually setting a variable all changes

I was under the incorrect assumption that specifying an asterisk would apply
the exclusion list to all ShareNames until I struggled with making it work and
re-read the tutorial [1] where it specifies that the asterisk "means it applies
to all shares that don't have a specific entry".
