Actually, though the file IS read top-to-bottom, that is irrelevant for
the exclude (and for most (all?)) directives. there can be only one for
the module. I don't know the behaviour when there are multiple, whether
subsequent ones are ignored, the last one read wins, or it throws an
error. the patterns all go on the single line, and are read in order. If
you want to get fancy, use exclude from, and put all your patterns in a
seperate file. it'll be easier than maintaining a huge space-delimited
list.

You can do this but keep in mind that the file is read top to bottom. The
first matching + / - rule is the one operated upon and the others below it
are ignored.
