The only argument against this syntax (and I'm not saying it's a
strong argument) is that you have to choose between being able to
shortcircuit a subtree, or excluding a particular match that happens
to be a directory (while still including children of that directory).
Unless like before this only applies to the final ~ pattern in the,
er, pattern?
